We have a 98 KX500 engine in for a full rebuild.
The very first thing we did was to take it outside and wash it...
Nothing worse then working on a dirty engine and contaminating everything as you open her up..

We got a bit of lapping done today.
These cases were about the worst we have seen.
Spent almost a hour to get them perfect

The head and cylinder were nice to begin with.
They are epic now
