Water pump spear gear on the crankshaft broke off! New cylinder, crankshaft and top end! Found some issues with the rear suspension...bearings and seals. Getting close!

Nice,

Just about got her done. Thought about doing a documentary with lots of pics but I just don't have the time!

Very, very nice. Hope to build my own conversion this winter.

Here's how it started! A $17.00 dollar part that turned into 2K! Top end was roached from no coolant flow!

So sorry to hear about this.

That said, THIS looks pretty scary too! Would have been fun to have that let go on a triple.

Yes, and that's why these are on there now! I don't do triples either!
