Smokey rebore

#1 PostAuthor: Dodgy Z1B » Tue Jul 29, 2014 8:49 am

Would you expect a newly rebored engine to smoke for a while my worry is its a shite rebore job not on my z on an other unmentionable 550 four stroke bike :D the oil scraper rings were a one piece item looked dodgy.

Are you sure it's the rebore & not the valve oil seals ?

Run it in with cheap mineral oil - after a couple hundred miles swap for decent mineral or semi & see how it is.

Don't run it in too conservatively - the bores may glaze over :!:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
