Well I got the bottom end together, Hope I got everything in there. One thing about buying a basket case you have a lot of extra parts to sort thru. I know there parts for a least three motors, not complete but parts.  |

Need to get the cyls. honed and rings fitted. Than sort the head out valves look good but will probably replace seals and lap in the seats.  |

Yesterday, I put the 450 together as a roller to get a police vin check. So I can apply for a title with my Bill of sales from PO. All went well title is on its way. I found out the hard way a few years back on fixing up a project without title. So before getting in to deep getting the paper work is a priority for me. The same Lady waited on me that took care of the Harley Hummer. So she thought the 450 was a piece of cake. Ron  |

Well I had my oil pump all cleaned up and installed. But was told from another site if I use a later model 450 pump if would give 33% more oil. Thats a no brainier the top end of the 450 needs all the oil it can get. So back to e-bay for a aluminum body pump. Got it all cleaned up tested it in a can of clean oil wile pushing the connecting pumps like a champ. Installed a new o-ring behind the pump on the oil port.  |

Got the new pump on, made a couple revaluations of the crankshaft to make sure it all worked out. Now on to hone the cyl. and fit the rings.  |

Got some new stones for my hone and honed the cyl. came out nice. Cleaned the cyl. up, now I need to cut down the over size rings to spec. That's for another day when I'm fresh not much room for mistakes. Ron  |

I got the rings fitted to the cylinders and installed. Started on the head valves look good. Will lap them in and be good to go. Found I have the wrong valve seal. Went to Bikebandit and ordered some right at $10 ea. that hurts.  |
