Supercheap have the Rislone Head Gasket Fix in their current catalogue too, about $55,
as well as that Radiator Fix you posted the link for

Not very favourable reviews for that head gasket fix apparently its the exact same as the copper one they make in a different bottle for twice the price....

Stop clogging up Craig's thread Stoozo. lol. Haven't you heard of txt messages?

Want to look at the build not your bloody car!! ;)

Frame looks wicked Craig. I like your "baking" method in front of the heater. haha
 
thanks, the old kero heater has done it's job many times over the last 15 years


the bottom end of the engine has been etched and painted today
i will take the barrel and head off and do them seperately, black barrel, silver head





 
Yeah my old man has almost the exact same one. Been around as long as I can remember.

Damn that engine came up sweet.

Do you have a whole panel beating workshop out the back of your place? lol.

i wish i had enough room to set up my workshop !

so the engine is now sitting back in the bike, and the bike is a roller again
foot pegs and mount, and kick stand are next on the list

thanks,
yeah i can picture it bobbed out.

i might make up another base gasket for the barrel, it will open up the exhaust port another mm.
possibly do a bit of port work too if my new rotary tool arrives...
i need to buy more sand too.

i just finished connecting up the wiring on the PY, so that's another job out of the way.

Wow, that bike looks almost like new, I can't believe the progress it's made from that crusty old bike! Well done, wish I was this talented!

hot damn that thing looks better and better with every update, well done craig. you would be one of the best "restorer's" on here, the man with the midas touch ;)
 
thanks,
but i've had plenty of practice restoring all sorts of things.
the worst thing doing it from home, is my shed doesn't have to power to run a decent compressor.
so most of the sanding and painting is done by hand, and pressure pack paints.
