Good for another 100.000 k’s hey Chicken. Nice work lefty! I know where to bring the DR when it needs a freshen up.
December 15, 2011 at 11:34 pm #213257Nice work Lefty. I might have your next project
January 12, 2012 at 11:54 pm #209908Well its finished after a slight miscommunication, The Left one has taken her for its maiden ride on Tuesday or Wednesday (I forget) 110km around the local traps, and tells me it pulls like nothin else!!!!!! 👿
The full break down of parts as follows
New counter shaft
New crank and conrod assembly
New piston
New full set of gears
New selector fork
New clutch basket and heavy duty clutch
Cylinder head reconditioned
New cam chain and tensioner and guide
Bore honed
Frame cracks repaired
All I need is the time to pick her up and go for a rideI can’t thank Lefty enough for the top job and perfectionist approach to the rebuild, thanks mate
I would never have gotten round to to doing the job at best it would have been pulled apart and put into the too hard basket
And thanks TB for droppng itJanuary 13, 2012 at 9:00 am #214384Nice work Lefty, I always love when a new engine rebuild fires up for the first time.
January 13, 2012 at 12:22 pm #214391Yeah thanks gents.
The rebuild is complete and i am really happy with it. The engine is now is a 630cc with a New 100mm Wiseco forged piston and ring set. The Cylinder head is a ported large cooling fin type and has been fully reconditioned. It still has the standard cam shaft with the auto decomp removed. Carburettor is a Mikuni with some slight jetting mods to suit the larger capacity. She pulls like a 14yr old with a Playboy eh. :huh: 😆
The gearbox and clutch assy are all brand new and shift beautifully. I completed around 110km on the big 630 then completed its first oil and filter change ready for delivery.
Oh! I also fitted an oversize EBC front Disc Rotor and Caliper bracket to better enhance the big girls stopping power. After the bed in period, which I also completed it stops now very well.Cheers,

Didn’t happen to put a hydraulic clutch on the big girl? That has to be the heaviest clutch pull ever. :laugh:

January 13, 2012 at 2:50 pm #214403Hey Lefty, did you weld up the oil port under the auto decomp on the stock cam shaft when you removed it?

January 13, 2012 at 10:17 pm #214405no but I did share it in a thread that I started about rebuilding Tripper’s top end. it is in the Honda section from memory.
January 13, 2012 at 11:49 pm #209909Thats ok Mick, the engine was a running 630 before the rebuild and I bought it because it had gear box problems, we have just rebuilt the engine as it was

I spoke to Mick earlier about this issue and looked at it when I disassembled and then reassembled the engine. It had the auto decomp previously removed and had absolutely no signs of any camshaft or rocker wear so i believe it will be fine. As i also mentioned earlier i did 110km on a test ride, changed the oil and filter and it was as sweet as.
Cheers,

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: No Mal but I must agree it is a little heavy. :huh: :huh: I put a Goodridge clutch kit in it complete with springs and a new genuine clutch basket. Having said that it is bearable provided you keep it all lubed up.
