Re: Brake pad installation
It seems reasonable that the shops who resleeve mc's would also sell the seal/piston kits for their work. DO they????

Re: Bore or Hone Advice
How do you get a circumferential scratch??? Cylinder scratches are usually longitudinal, caused by a broken ring or a chunk of carbon riding up and down with the piston. Looks like a crack to me.

Re: Synthetic Gear Oil
If you use synthetic oil and continue changing oil every 3000 miles you are wasting your money. The only real upside of using synthetic oil is that it maintains viscosity much, much longer than conventional oil.

Re: No Clutch

Re: So I permanantly blocked my oil filter bypass
Just leave out the thermostat and make a heavy leather cover with a few snaps for the cooler . The main restriction of oil flow is the main bearing clearances. Since they restrict the flow enough to create a back pressure in the 60 lb range with hot oil, I don't think your remote filter/thermostat s...
