Wow! Your becoming quite the mechanic.

Thank you!

 

[Jaric00n]

now we can bring our cruisers to her so we don't get dirty anymore =3

It's like she's growing a banana tree.
I seem to be stuck at 2 bananas.
Great job.

 

[Jaric00n]

At least you can get lots of shade with the banana leaves

and bananas are good for you anyway

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Well I gave up the tree and I'm having the shop assemble the head. Just dropped off the valves and the springs. Primary guy showed me the warpage along the head surface. .005 right in the middle.
And looking w/ keener eyes his shop is pretty meticulous. Unused equipment clean or draped w/ cloth. Pretty cool to walk inside and see up close. If I could go back in time machinery or woodworking would have been my top choices.

~nice nice~~~~

The only shop I knew around here closed after 80 years

looks like your toyota head shrank to 4 cylinders and 16 valves >.>

that looks like an hefty flywheel too

hope it all works out well~~

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Yeah I asked about that flywheel. Huge! It had fractures along the face too. Not bad but easy to see by the naked eye. He said it wasn't a big deal. And def not my head in that pix.

 

[Jaric00n]

hheheheeh

thank goodness

would be worried

Maybe get a magnaflux check
For cracks
Late year heads are known to crack
Mine had a hidden one
Good luck
I like your attitude

I read that as a poem

Having two cruisers
Can change your life
Just ask my wife

I have 4 cruisers - does that mean I can have 2 wives?

 

[mattressking]

I have 4 cruisers - does that mean I can have 2 wives?

Of course, it's just math.

But besides the obvious reasons, do you really want another wife?

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Two husbands sounds like a real migraine.

You know... there is a "way" to get rid of that....

 

[hj 60]

Good to get is sorted and nice shop, I want a blue box like that with time saving tools: I need a lot of them.
Or does it only contain the phone-number of the cleaning lady?

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Three would require some kinky stuff Greg.

Seems like the cruiser gods have looked down at your thread with great joy and love
They seem to curse me sometimes
You're destined for great things

That last line... a good friend from many many years ago used to mantra that to me. Thank you. It's nice to hear it again.
