Valve Removal…
November 26, 2018Removed the valves from the EVO motor heads. The valve springs are held with keepers on the valve stems. To remove the valves the springs need to be compressed to remove the keepers.
Wrist Pins Pulled…
November 25, 2018Needed a tool to remove the piston wrist pins. The service manual says the pins are loose fit and should push out once the clips are removed, this was not so. Ordered this piston pin puller from Amazon and it got the…
EVO Motor Teardown…
November 19, 2018Started tearing down the 1992 EVO motor this past weekend. Removed the rocker boxes, cylinder heads, pushrods, tappet guides, etc. Nothing too exciting. Just getting it all stripped down to hopefully bring it back to life and use it as the base…

Front Brake Caliper Rebuild…
October 23, 2018There is always something… Everything is put back together. Thought we were ready to ride. Before we left for Biketoberfest I noticed a leak up front. Thought it might be fork oil but it was brake fluid. The front brake caliper was…
