    If you're going to do it cheap and do it well, a wood block is not the answer. Wood is measured by a tape measure. Your block flatness will be measured by a micrometer or feeler gauge. Huge difference. A cheap compromise would be a small, very flat piece of granite ( think kitchen counter shop scraps ) or a piece of very thick plate glass. But, for gawd sakes, not a wooden board.

    No you won't be able to successfully drill out the rivets and replace them with screws. For two reasons. One reason the back of the drilled out rivet will fall in the housing and jam up the flywheel . Then, even if you could screw it the full starter mechanism is now loose inside the housing it is not external like most small engines plus there's only about 316 clearance between that rivet and the flywheel worst design ever

    Hey I just picked one of these up and its a clapper. May need to do a full rebuild but i seem to have some issues finding parts for the internals of the bottom end. I found a seal kit with the main bearings, but cant find a crankshaft or the other bearings. Any tips on what may work from other years? I think my cranks is screwed and i cant find any bearings or replacements for it. I contacted a shop to see if they could rebuild it and they said they cant find the necessary parts either so no. I noticed that the part number for the 1999 crank is the same as the 92, but the exploded view of the cranks has diff. part numbers for the rebuild of it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I would love to keep this bike alive.

    You are letting the drill run too fast. And your not going fast enough with the up and down movement. I have been building motors for about 30 years. Trust me on my advice. That will get you a perfect crosshatch with practice.

    Idk what I’m doing wrong but I can’t get it to cross hatch . I’m working on a gx200 and I’ve tried and tried to get it to cross h with the same tool. I ordered the flex one with the balls cause it seems like that would help achieve the cross h. When i the tool with the stones , it just smooths it out .

    I usually run a slow speed maybe 150-200rpm. Could be slower. The up and down is faster. You have to figure it out. Just remember slow, rpm fast up and down.

    It's cool that you are interested in engines and are willing to do stuff yourself but I'm going to give you some advice that I wish someone had given me when I was young and there was no internet. First of all cleaning up a Bore with a three hone stone is total crap. As far as I am concerned there is no real use for that tool at all. Uncle Tony thinks he is going to straiten out a bore with it no it won't. If you use that it will most likely introduce a taper into the bore. So first you must measure WITH a BORE GAUGE and see if you have a tapered bore. If you have no taper than you can ball hone it. If not and you do have a taper there is no other option than to get it bored and honed. The cross hatch produced by that crap hone may be marginal for a N/A engine but definitely will be crap for a turbo. For a turbo engine it is not as simple as honing it and running it. If you plan to run any king of real boost on it you need to consider the ring package. For anything that is going to see anything over 7 pounds of boost you need to go to a steel ring package. Under that you can stay with a single moly. Factory rings unless specified for a turbo car aren't going to work. The engine will run but it will not even get to it's potential. I would call Keith Jones at Total Seal piston rings for a ring recommendation as well as a ball hone grit recommendation if you have no cylinder taper. If you need to get it machined let them know what ring package you are going to use. Different applications need different hones. My first advise to you is too not cut corners on machine work. Invest In a good set of micrometers that are .0001 accurate along with a bore gauge with same accuracy. Buy a deck bridge and a dial indicator. Measure everything ! Then measure it again. There is no substitute for tools. If you are serious about doing this you can never have enough tools. I still buy them every day. My number one pet peeve is doing stuff twice. If you go down the road you are your going to live it. My first engine when I was 15 took four batteries to start the car and the engine lasted about an hour. I knows it's cool to have a youtube channel and getting some money on the side is a good deal but advising people on what to do when you have no clue isn't. I would put in terms like "This is what I'm doing" not how to do. I have been building engines for 45 years and I see a lot of the youtube stuff and cringe. Uncle Tony is one example along with Alan from Golds garage I wouldn't let those guys work on my lawnmower. I hope this helps you out a bit. Good luck and enjoy your wrenching!
