LOL. To be fair, it's a big bitch and that harbor was tight. I'm impressed he brought it through that. Probably made a radio call requesting a clear channel, and high tide, that inlet is small and has a crazy 90+ degree hook (which Tim missed, but, high tide). The 35' Formula is up front, so his boat is what, 60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you didn't send in the new oil? 😁 You didn't use any add any oil in 8K miles. They said "Universal averages show typical wear for this type of engine after about 3,300 miles on the oil" but yours is good at 8K. Your Bird engine must be in great shape, thank Zero? 🙂 Do your Mini next. Edited August 30 by blackhawkxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if Phil kept with that practice. When I took off the rocker arm cover to check clearances, the engine was spotless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is great, I would never have done that. In all fairness, Mike did a great job of maintaining the bike and was much more meticulous than I am.

Maybe it was your lawnmower? Edited August 30 by tomek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to have done harm, but I'd be leery of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Ima go look for the "I'm Not a Real Biker" thread. I guess I didn't think there were rockers, but I've never felt the need to know what the inside of theses engines look kike. They're a Honda.

tomek Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Well, newer superbike engines do have finger followers, kinda like rocker in that sense lift on the camshaft is not equal to the lift of the valve. Cbrxx engine is from shim under the bucket era. Facts matter. 😁 Edited August 30 by tomek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
