wow, that is some serious destruction. the worse I've seen in one of these, did the engine run for a good while before you had a chance to stop...
Yes, I remember seeing the "belt-o-ceptor" but was that with only one engine with no rebuilds? I don't remember. The intake valve just...
CMS NL has springs... I bought a complete set from them last year. There's also a place here in California (RD) that advertises springs for the...
I did as much as I could to make them last. I had a slightly leaky head gasket so I replaced both and bought and installed all new inner and...
My newly rebuilt 84 engine with "only" about 15k on it just dropped a rear intake and ruined that cylinder. I had an 86 spare engine in which I...
Hey Jeremy, I have bought new (NOS) springs and have a spare engine and several spare heads. I have found the same thing. I will tell you that...
that's a quick one year reprieve, did you try swapping coils? since one coil does the front and the other the back, that could be it... it could...
I discovered something very interesting (to me at least) in the recent months I spent getting my VF500F back on the road. I feel obligated to try...

I think the captain retired on you bro but I just went through all of this just a few weeks ago, replace ALL the 0-RINGS to the tubes while you're...

I think I've hijacked/pirated this thread more than enough. I just wanted it to have a happy ending I guess. I shall start my own new thread when...
I hadn't stopped to add up how much it took to get this head gasket project done. I'm guessing with the complete set of valve springs, 3 new...
