cb650 engine rebuild

I just finished rebuilding my cb650 engine.

The engine leaked a shit ton of oil from the rubber o-rings around the head gasket. (Common 4cyl problem on old Hondas.)

My engine fins have always been completely covered with caked on oil, grease and dirt. If you didn’t already know, the engine fins are what cool your engine. So to say the least, my engine prolly wasn’t properly cooling itself as much as it should have been. No matter how much I cleaned it, 2 weeks later it was gross again.

In my plan to reduce overall engine temperatures, and efficiency, I’m doing a new gasket kit, having the cylinder jugs measured, and having the cylinder head pressure tested to see if everything is still within spec. Possibly installing an oil cooler.

When you can’t ride…

sledding No Comments

Kinda sucks when your bike is under 2 feet of snow. The best option at that point is to drink beer and go sledding.

yea… my s2000 is an earlier AP2 which means it has no traction control. For those of you who didn’t know… the s2000 is rear-wheel drive and mine has g-force sport tires, which are awesome sticky summer tires.

So… snow VS the s2000….
- snow wins by a long shot

Some dickface piled all their sidewalk snow on top of my car, which is bad news since it’s a cloth soft-top. Def can’t have all that weight sitting on top. I was not psyched.

I shoveled my ass off… and Erin enjoyed taking a nap with Jasper.
