All the way back yo the original post. Looks like this finally happened for somebody...

The threads the cylinder/head studs thread into

Has anyone ever used a Heli-Coil to repair stripped out threads that are in the engine case? If so, were the results a success? Also whats the size and thread pitch on these (saves me a trip to the hardware store if someone knows)? Or which Heli-Coil part number you used? Credit to tbolt for...

So I was just fixin to polish the head up (keep the thread clean) on my rebuild. This isn't looking so easy! racerx, any pointer for this project?

I am looking for the following to go on a 79' Z50 Seat pan and foam Muffler 2 metal pieces that hold on the front number plate 2 number plates What I really need is the triple tree bracket, the black piece that hold the clamps that holds the handle bars Please let me know what you have! Thanks

I bought one for a 1980 z50 off ebay. I can tell you the quality really isn't bad but the reason they sell them with the fuel cap and petcock is because the original ones wont fit, they are slightly different in the rise and curves as well. Because of the gas cap you can always tell its a...

Hello All: I did a big bore kit on a z50 and I am looking for a 70 head, carb, manifold to complete. Please let me know if you have a "good running" one just to clean up and bolt on. If I am headed in the wrong direction with the top end I am open to feedback. Thanks,

You can sand, wet sand, heat, and wax for shine. Did 2 that way and look as good as new. Just watch the heat!

O.K. Powder coat is out! I didn't even think of the temp issue but looks kike it would be. On to this 70 vs 50 head. My thinking here was I could get larger vales and a larger intake port/valve with a 70 head...That should be right? I have the 88cc kit already as noted below. As...

Kirrbby, Not coating the inside of the head but the process requires baking at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Its the green rubber gasket under the guide that I am worried about melting. Now since its green (not black) do you think its a high temp rubber gasket? I dont know...? Another...

Thanks guys...You are making me feel better about this but still some questions. So are these things made to be removed? The reason I ask is I want to powder coat the head. The guides have a rubber gasket and they would never withstand the 400 degree 15 minute bake cycle. If they can be...

So I a rebuilding a 1997 z50r. I am on the top end of the motor removing all the pieces and I start to try and remove the guide vales (Z50R 1997 (V) USA GUIDE IN VALVE 12237GK4305, fits Honda) and since they are pressed in (I know that now) I damaged the guide valve. Am I screwed?

I'm looking but not finding anything.

Not mine just thought it was interesting http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/5508634154.html
