KX500 Complete engine build

Post by Sandblaster »

Since the Supermoto project is just about done I figured that I would go ahead and get some of the preliminaries out of the way for my next engine build.

I'm going to start with a complete crank rebuild.
Since Pinsonnaultracing did such a excellent job on my last rebuild I will happily give them more business :D

I am going to send in my crank for a full rebuild using a Wossner polished rod kit and a 01 KX500 Crank shaft

The pics don't do the polishing justice but it's pretty good...

Well... just some snippets to keep you wondering what's next....

I started doing some micro polishing of parts.
My first attempt shows promise but obviously has a ways to go...

I need a different media as well as smaller media.
Stay tuned for cool stuff to come :shock:
