I didn't mean to cause any confusion by posting a turbo shot of my bike for BoxerOtto, I didn't know he had a engine failure? Boxer what's the story?

Sorry I never saw these pics earlier, i have been busy with small engine season and holidays etc. I'll post a video soon of the bike riding, it's not bad, just never seem to have or make time to wring it out properly, kinda pathetic I know, all that time and money to finish. I like your intercooler ...

Weather here is crappy too, but I have been riding the bike around ironing out the bugs, only bugs so far is besides the seat and springs being hard as a rock, is the transmission head aches, keeps getting getting stuck up in 3rd and 4th, the trans is a harley 4spd rotary top/cowpie etc. 79-85, The ...

Now that I'm pretty much healed up from surgery, and back to work, and got the bike papered, I'm just days away from getting plates, the rain is going to give us a break any day now..so between the after hours small engine repair gig and rain I'd like to start riding to work and record fuel milage /...

DSC01808.JPG DSC01802.JPG DSC01803.JPG Did some tank work, added a Mooneyes aluminum gas cap, had to put in a threaded bung for it and seal up the other cap, also added the viable fuel guage, and a fancy brass fuel tap. and changed the intake hose along side the tank, the old silicone turo hose fla...

Great videos BoxerOtto, when I saw your helmet camera setup last summer I was thinking I'll have to set up something like that myself for a video, then I'll have to learn to download it etc. or ask the wife nicely and get her to do it. I'll see if I can find and post some pics I took when you were o...

YES..I finally got my VIN tag and registration, it's registered as as a 1961 Harley altered diesel, at least now I can insure it, it's just too bad it's the middle of winter here and the surgeon wants to see me now in 2 weeks to take a chunk of my polyp riddled colon out..crap. I'll be ready for spr...

I arranged with phoenix cycle in Langford to get the bike back in tomorrow (fri) to reinspect and attach new VIN tag, as I have already put the indacator lights in, just a couple LED lights in the back of the headlight bucket, then on the way home while the bike is still in the trailer I can stop at...

Took the bike into a icbc approved motorcycle shop for the inspection and VIN # installation, just when you think you have all the bases covered...nope, got failed because I didn't have a blue indicator light for the high beam and a green indicator light for neutral, other than that everything else ...

$_12.JPG Trans is working good now, it was kind of frustrating that it kept jumping out of gear on the maiden voyage, just after you left I pulled it out and tore it down, turns out when I rebuilt it earlier I put the 1st 2nd gear slider in backwards, the pic doesn't show it but the teeth are bevel...

DSC01758.JPG DSC01758.JPG DSC01757.JPG DSC01633.JPG DSC01631.JPG Road legal?? it's so close I can taste it, after seeing boxerOtto's cool bike this summer, very much outside the box,I liked the transmission idea the best, and everything worked very nicely, we did a short road trip, I rode my Suzuki...

Sounds like your on the right track.

I had to, and maybe you need to, put a bleeder valve in your cooling system, I put mine on top of my thermostat housing, wich is the highest point of my cooling system to burp the trapped air out, I got the brass two piece valve from a auto parts store, lots of new cars use them.

There is also a external oil filter adapter that fits between the oil filter mounting base and oil filter that has two threaded holes for oil cooler lines, it comes in two or three sizes metric and std. it's about 1 1/2" thick, made from aluminum, I am using one on my diesel bike with a 3cyl ku...

Hope you had a good trip home, it was nice meeting you and checking out your bike, very creative to say the least, I have the trans out of my bike already fixing the popping out of gear issue, it's a worn mainshaft shifter clutch, the shifting fork moves it side to side, engaging with a gear on eith...

I was just saying to the wife the other day that it feels like I am building two bikes and only getting one, I have lots of parts etc. that I thought would work/fit, only to go in a box in the corner of the shop, I have learned alot from my build, so much that the next one? will be nothing like my f...

Sounds good, I find I can't load pictures the same any more myself, I mailed the site a asked for help, so if I figure it out I'll post it. The fires in Fort Mac got my wife's brother's house and truck, and fire season is just starting.

I'm usually around, just give me a heads up when your going to be out this way, I'll give you a tour of the chrome shop too when your here, summers finally here lets ride.

How much boost are you getting from your AMR300? as you know I just installed one on my kubota d950 along with a turbo, I'm at 2.5 lbs boost right now, just waiting for a smaller pulley to bring it up a bit, just curious as to what your getting.

It's been awhile since my last update, seems like something might have changed here with down loading pictures? tried to load as normal but no go, tried a few other things but still won't load , site says invalid ? I'll get the wife to figure it out for me, she works in a office all day. Supercharge...

Off subject a bit, but makes me think of Oldsmobiles 350ci gas engine that they converted to diesel for the GM trucks, worked, but not the best.

A quick way to cheaply/not the text book way, to check valve seats is with the head assembled and off the engine is pour a little clean solvent etc. into intake and exhaust ports and if it leaks thru/past the valves, they are not sealing. from the pics some of the valve faces look a little suspect. ...

Just a thought ..and it doesn't cost anything, check valve lash, valve not opening enough/long enough.

When I plumbed my cooling hoses, I found that hardwall marine hose bends well without pinching, pricey but will work well and will out last the bike.

Aww snap..just what I needed, injection, thanks for that brain bug.
