450sx part 2

[gsracer]

so put the motor off to the side and started the tear down. Decided to do a compression check before i pulled it apart out of curiosity.

Cylinders
1. 205
2. 215
3. 200
4. 200
5. 200
6. 195
7. 200
8. 205

Stock is supposed to be 185 psi warm and i measured cold so either i picked up compression or more than likely the tester is slightly off , i also measured dry without pouring oil in the cylinders, in either case rings look good. Although I'm contemplating a complete and rebuild as i was just planning on changing the head gaskets.








Popped off the valve covers and this motor is still as clean as the day i bought it. It has roughly 126,000 miles as of now.







Cleaned up the valve covers and dropped them off at the coaters I'm done with wrinkle black, I'm thinking silver or something crazy.
