K-Man's 1999 Swedish Steelie
A big thank you to all contributors to this excellent forum as all tips, facts, instructions and walkthroughs
have been a big help to my rebuild so far!
After having had a great time on my CR last winter
...a friend of mine told me to check my piston for cracks and lo and behold, there it was, almost an inch long from the bottom of the skirt of the cast Prox. Lucky check. Not long before this piston would wreak havoc in my engine.
Note the small inlet ports... they're about to get bigger!
This led to a big teardown and as I really wanted a bit more revs and top-end I ported the cylinder a bit.
Transfer ports. One raised so far
Then I ordered a Wiseco piston and had the cylinder bored out to 89,50 mm. Now the intake is a lot bigger
As I plan to put this engine in my '02 CRF450 SM roller I've got, I figured I might as well swap all bearings while the engine is out of the frame and have a completely fresh one to start with.
Splitting the cases, 2 yo daughter Leia helping GoPro timelapse movie
and pulling the bearings and replacing them
You might see me checking out doggers excellent Engine build pictorials to speed up my rebuild.
An old rear sprocket got to serve as a crank puller and it worked like a charm
Putting the bike back together in 2.5 minutes and fitting an hour meter to keep better track of service intervals than the previous owner did.
And yes, it comes to life again and does run nicely I have put some bigger jets in since it's ported now and it's winter. First start with all the new parts covered in oil means a smokey startup. I probably should've done it outdoors but its cold as **** here right now
Hopefully I'll go iceracing this weekend and post some more footage afterwards.

There's pain in this game. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough!

HELP!
Can anyone help me with a part number for the metal bushing at the back of the crankcase where the swing axle goes through? The collar on it has cracked/broken off and I can't find it in Hondas fiches.

I really hope that isn't so. Having to buy a case half instead of a 10$ bushing seems insane.
Went down to my local Honda dealer and we ordered Ref# 5 in the Swingarm section. He said the schematics weren't always in the exact right place. The name, BUSH, PIVOT THRUST, and look of it seems as close as can be so I ordered two (both sides)
*Fingers crossed*

How stupid is this?Gmbond wrote:Yup It's a part you can't buy separately
a 250 or 125 collar would work also.
I bet I can't buy one separately for 250's or 125's either?
Having one made up will be a pain as well. I think I'll just superglue the collar back on then

Hehe, gotcha, nice reply. But that may well render his case useless? I wouldn't want to do that if I wanted to sell the whole case. The bushings seem pretty well fixed.
I put mine back together with some steel epoxi. We'll see how far that will last, but at least there won't be any play an the axle and the collar can't get away from there as it sits nicely on the axle.
I followed your excellent tip and got the 59 mm bushing and now it looks like the engine will line up perfectly on the axle. I'll be cutting out the Y tomorrow and clean it up. Frame rebuild/weld is planned for this weekend. I have to continue this in the AF-forum soon
