Skull Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'm watching just like the rest. I figure the engine rebuild stuff is inevitable with forced induction. It's nice to see someone that knows more about it go through it, though. It might cut the number of times I have to ask you stupid questions in the future.

Redbird Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 2200 views and counting, one of the most frequented threads here in the garage ever. Keep it up, Stan, the rest of us will continue to watch, just a bit awestruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeXTrain99 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You suck Stan. Just kidding of course. I've been keeping up and have enjoyed the thread. Seeing you go through this gives me the courage to tackle the inevitable CCT repair when it becomes necessary. I know that there are good guys (and gals, I guess) on this thread that are willing to lend an ear and offer good advice when needed. Looking forward to seeiing you in October.

TexasDawg Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've enjoyed reading this thread alot. I have thought of putting a turbo on my bike and the rebuilding of the top end would come as part of it. Lots of good info in the thread. Some people are not into the wrench turning and it's threads like this that are inspiring to them,,, wrench on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbracerx Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Much enjoyed! Can't wait to see how it runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 photos link reputed, Many more than what gets putted here just for info. Been lapping the valves and checking for seal with vacuum, and shimming the valves clearance. Have not gotten the rings yet,( new ones), but did get the spring seat. Got Tomek's valve tool today too. Can't wait to try it. The shim set has three of each. which is a bummer, cause we set all the valves the same. It will be ok I think. look at how much the seats stick out in the inlets and look at how much shit is in the ports all gone now and really smooth, but I don't like polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbracerx Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Rough casting! Is that the infamous PAIR outlet (where air comes into the exhaust stream) on one of the exhaust valves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Rough casting! Is that the infamous PAIR outlet (where air comes into the exhaust stream) on one of the exhaust valves? one of them yes, in that angle it will pull a vacuum as the gas goes by. I have put my pair system back and connected to the valve cover to pull a vacuum on my crankcase. I works and good, and with my air-box sealed ram-air really does work good. I recommend it. highly!!!

So did you eliminate the PAIR valve and just Tee the hoses to the crankcase breather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did you eliminate the PAIR valve and just Tee the hoses to the crankcase breather? no just tied the pair caps together and then to the breather tube that goes into the valve cover. The reeds in the pair prevent exhaust pressure from backing into the crankcase until velocity in the exhaust pulls vacuum on the pair ports shown. I plugged all the holes in the aircleaner including the holes that vent water sucked into the inlets with a check valve that closes when pressure is present in the box. That way it will drain the water when you slow down. hope that is clear, kinda hard to explain. where is that picture??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I told you fricking people to do PAIR-crankcase vent mode two years ago but as a dumb immigrant I can get no respect here. . http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?...526&hl=pair Value of reducing/creating vacum in the crankcase has been known since 5 B.C.

cbrxxquad Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Still had not gotten the rings Monday, so called again, they overnighted some and got them Wed. Thursday, got the first set...13 days ppost. From California. Started filling the new rings and fitting... had a bearing seize from shit, but cleaned up... rebuilding the oil pump, was pretty scared up, but the clearances are fine, polished out the scratches as good as I could. Going good so far...going to clay the valve piston clearances, and decide on compression ratio..What do you think Brent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 so nobody noticed the oil hole was wrong in the rod,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Oil pump ready to assemble installed This was reeally a bad thing, they had an aluminum plug made to tap off the pressure oil for the turbo, only problem is that aluminim threads in a fine thread is a problem waiting to happen. So, since I can't stand having a motor dump oil under the only tire putting down 5oo hp, I built a steel plug, not really. I Drilled a stock plug so the allen was still useable. Much better. Still have to do some ss fittings to get him back to what he had, but, I really think that he should add a oil accumilator to the line, so I am going to add a tee instead of an ell, maybe he will.

jon haney Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm sure this is probably a dumb question, but aren't those little arrows on the top of the pistons supposed to be pointing towards the front of the motor? :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for intake E for exhaust, which cylinder I want them to be in. The pistons came with no marks. The only way to know is that the exhaust valve cutout is a little closer to the edge of the piston. Go figure, I would have never thought that. Yes I had to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX4me Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I can't believe I am just now seeing this thread. :icon_doh: Amazing work Stan. You know you were mentioning that the piston rods did not have the holes that allowed oil to spray on the bottom of the pistons like the stock ones do. The Carrillo rods in my XX are the same, no holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure, I would have never thought that. Yes I had to ask. I see it now. The arrow I was refering to is actually the number 4 that you stamped on it. So, does it actually matter which way new pistons go in? The valve pockets looked the same on both sides to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
