i think it looks good... i like the slight angle up kind of has a newer rocket flare to it... i like that looks great size wise!

 

so tonight was just full of awesome... had my best friend stop by to help me turn a few wrenches... but that turned into CLEANING THE HELL OUT OF A MOTOR! he and i hit this sucker for about 4 hours got the underside, front, and one upper jug side done... also took off the side case only to reveal EVERYTHING IS NEW!!!! NEW BEARINGS, CHAIN, GEARS, EVEN THE WEAR GUARD ON THE CHAIN IS BRAND NEW!!!! Looks liks someone overhauled the motor and pretty recent! nice part is all the bolts just twist out smooth... just awesome just need to track down some gaskets now... here are the pics

Looks awesome Joe! Good score on the motor. If you make the run down to Florida again next summer, stop by my place and hook up my scoot too!

 

looking good.

 

Looks good dude.......................... . . . ..

 

Check with Sudco. They had a complete engine gasket kit for an 82 Zuki I was working on. The whole kit was only $100.

 

awesome! thanks!!!

 

OUCH!!! $53.53, BEFORE shipping for the head gasket, left engine case gasket, and right engine case gasket
any other idea's? i have made a few gaskets in my past but not many... any ideas or tips/tricks?

he explains how to make your own gasket. i never buy them anymore, i buy sheets of material (different material for different kinds of gaskets! remember that! they are not all the same!)

and it takes a combination of scissors hole punches and tapping/drawing the shape out.

ive rebuilt an ENTIRE engine with gaskets made from a cereal box (thin cardboard, it is solid and has no air pockets like box cardboard.)

the engine in that 2500cc scooter is still running great today with no leaks and no gasket sealer.

however i do suggest you use a sealer like permatex The Right Stuff, best stuff you can possibly use in place of a real gasket, and in most cases its better than a paper gasket!

edit i looked at your pictures, it looks like the person before you already rebuilt the engine once before with their own homemade gaskets! haha, keep tradition alive!

 

great tip joe! thanks bud!!! is there a list somewhere of the diff gasket types? I have been searching the internet but the info is limited
