Nice Post.....
Lots of good info here......

You should probably post this in the Tips and Tricks thread.....
Or...at least Link it....

Hey Randy, PM kuppler and have him put this in his sticky

Sweet now I just need to get a little time to do it, and I should be up and running again.

Thanks for the vids. They helped out a lot. I got my engine back together, and now I just have to wait for the wife to get home, so she can watch the kids, and I can go outside and see if I did everything correct.

great bro, let me know or i should say us know how you make out.

you know I will. I plan on some video as well. hehehe......oh shoot...didn't you continue the racing contest for another month? I guess I might be able to get into it after all. YES!!!!

Right on Bro......
Wouldnt be a Contest without you....

Go Big or Go HOME!

Hey Guys......
Big Winter Storm here in So Cal. S'Posed to DUMP on us all next week....Intermittant rain (now) and dropping just below Freezing tonite.....
Time for some Maintenance.....

Tearing down my SH.28 engine, and I thought I would Post a few Pics.......

I HOPE to do a video on this for the Forum, so I guess this is just a Practice Run....in Braile.....Lol

The Link I am posting , goes to a Folder in my PhotoBucket account.
There are approximately 20 photos of the Teardown, in sequential order of disassembly......

Feel free to ask Questions or make comments if you like....

nice and neat Rich....my suggestion for anyone tearing down an engine is to give yourself ample space to work and lay out your parts in order...also if you are going back with a new piston/sleeve I would have a spare wrist pin clip just in case it launches on you...they are very small and near impossible to find if they launch

Randy is right about the Work Space (Lol, right about those Damn wrist pin clips too!).....

Another thing I would suggest is to have a Camera handy, and Use it , just like I did for this Post.

Its easy to put things back together the Wrong way, which leaves you with that Frustrated Feeling as you Scratch your Head and wonder......

"What'd I do Wrong?".....

REMEMBER THE WAY THE PISTON GOES BACK IN, THE DIRECTION, MOST HAVE A NOTCH OUT TO MISS THE CRANK!!!!

Yeah,,,and you can put put the piston Rod backwards, too.....
