CB77 High school project restoration.

Post by dstahnke » Sun Dec 27, 2015 7:22 pm

I documented a restoration done with students at a project based learning high school in California.

I've been humbled by some of the other builds that people have documented on this site. Mine was done on more of a budget.

Nothing at all wrong with your documentation.
I think that for a first timer you and the young feller did well and for sure learned how parts fit.
Ya Ain't the First to bend a intake valve and when you think of it you were able to use previous learning to fix the problem.
I like the use of DREAM pistons!. ................lm

Fantastic job and it's great to see youngsters involved, well done to all.
Can I ask , did you strip the oil pump or check it out in any way? The reason for the question is that the engine was seized, it may have been a pump problem.
Keep up the good work,
Al.

Although I didn't disassemble the pump completely, I did clean it out and made sure that it was functional. I submerged it in oil and spun the gear, it was clearly pumping so I felt comfortable not disassembling. I've ran the bike for a while and there seems to be ample oil being fed up to the top end.
Thanks everyone for the kind words on the build. It was a great mixture of fun and frustration.

As a rule but as usual not always if you have a oil feed problem many parts show damage. ..............lm

Hi Dave,
Glad to hear you checked the pump, LM you are correct but it doesn't hurt to ask after all the work that's been done,
Happy new year to all.
Al.
