The other day I got a call saying an engine was up on Yahoo Auctions. Only thirty minutes left\u2026
\nOf course I was out, and I’d never checked my phone from there before, so I couldn’t.
\nI had someone buy it for me anyway\u2014for a thousand yen.
\nEven with shipping at 3,150 yen, it was a bargain.
\nWhen it arrived\u2026 well, it was an engine worth exactly what I paid for it.
\nThe head had no cam holder, and the journals were all scored up.
\nThe combustion chamber was covered in rust with severe corrosion.
\nThe piston was 0.5 O\/S but had valve contact marks, so it’s scrap.
\nThe cylinder was rusty all over, and the fins were crumbling and falling off from weathering.
\nThe head was E and the cylinder was S\u2014a weird setup (E and S are different, you know).
\nI took the top end apart quick, then flipped it over to get at the bottom, and out came this gush of mixed water and oil\u2026
\nThe smell\u2026
\nAnyway, I flipped it back over, and the oil pan was packed full of dirt. Oh man, oh man\u2026
\nI took it apart and threw out everything I didn’t need.
\nI managed to get the covers, clutch housing, transmission case (with some cracks), and crankshaft (probably shot).
\nI’d like to do an OH on the GS engine too, you know.
\nBut I don’t have the time for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
