pulled the trigger on a conquest

[plott hound]

ok man,see what you got.i have this sucker smothered in pb blaster.gonna let it sit for a week or so then its coming apart right to the bone.only way to do it right.just popped the valve covers off,rear cylinder intake push rod was out of place.pulled the front cover off as well and the push rods were in place.everything is real sticky in there though so i might as well pull the heads and clean everything.damn old fuel for sure is the culprit.

Them 24,s just dont like ya Plott,I cant believe the stupidity of someone cutting the tube,but its only steel all can be repaired,gonna have to do some number checkin cause I got a bunch of sprockets new never used for dual chain and some chain,going to have to amass stuff that is no longer relevant to the Avenger make a pile and have the Innisfil picker come down and do a bundle up dealeo,good thing you still got a Demo machine for the spring.N.C.T

Don't pull the heads yet Plott
Add a half liter of ATF to a full tank of fuel and run it through, then If you still think the heads need to come off, fly at it

ok RD,will give that a try next weekend.im sure sticky valves are the reason for my low compression in the front cylinder.damn push rod was for sure the problem in rear cylinder.

cheers man.

ok,i drained all the old gas out of machine and added new fuel.gave it 2 doses of sea foam and i still have low compression and lots of blue smoke from exhaust.gonna pull the heads off and take a good look cause im sure the valves are still sticking.

[JohnF]

Seafoam is good stuff. Use it all the time. You did let it run for at least 1/2 hour? Just checking 'cause you didn't say how long you let it run the seafoam.

[plott hound]

yupper,run it for at least a half hour.gonna run it once more before i throw in the towel.

[plott hound]

just run it again for another 30 minutes johnf.soon as engine gets warm its starts puffing blue smoke.time to dive in head first.

[plott hound]

so i dove in head first,best way to work on these things is to spend 3/4 of an hour and separate the body.makes life way easier.found a few issues but i should be ok if i can find some cheap enough parts.

put my newly aquired tires on that i got from NCT.THOSE 24" suckers are real tight.gonna have to shave a hair off a couple to keep them from touching.what would work good to knock an 1/8" off the treads?

Try burning donoughts to the right untill you are ready to puke, then burn some to the left untill you feel better. Might have to repeat a couple times

PS, I've never seen an engine and tranny that clean before

4" hand grinder should work quick, or a hand belt sander.
