Custom 70cc engine build

Lmao. Here ya go. I may have over done it on the intake side, but transfer sides (were the rear of the piston skirt was hitting) side is enough, the least I could remove actually. View attachment 52465
tho it might not look like it, it's as smooth as a baby's bum.......well not that I've touched one cuz I'm not a pedo ???

Looks like its all on the inside of the case ?

The tracks? Yes but when I was doing the transfer sides, I had to hole it at a weird angle so once or twice it slipped and caught the top of the case and went a bit on the outside, not crazy bad but their noticable.

Ok we have one more minor delay annoyingly. So remember I already installed one of my piston cir clips? And it was installed with the notch facing the wrong direction? Well I can't rotate it without scratching the hell out of my piston, so yeah, I need to remove it, and as you know, you never reuse those becuase they can get weekend by removal and installation. So I need to circlips, no biggy, just a minor setback, will be able to build the bottom end tho.

And one more thing to add to the list ? one of the holes for the intake manifold is stripped out, so I'm Gunna get some thread inserts for it

?‍♂gwad dang it? no! Did the block come with stripped threads?

I don't think so. Maybe I accidentally did it? I don't remember tho.

OUCH?‍?? That sux

 

[Z.hb71]

OUCH?‍?? That sux

Definitely ?. Not the fact that it's Gunna add more time (becuase the Piston clips) but the fact that I have to actually do it. Annoying as hell

Even with no heat put on the circlips you still can't reuse them?

I could but I don't trust em. I've read that you shouldn't re use them because they can be fatuiged from compressing it and removing them. Even if it's not true I'm not willing to find out, it's $8

It's never a bad idea. But you most likely would have been ok as long as you didnt turn it into a pretzel taking it out.
It would take a lot of heat to stress a circlip that it would loose spring tension
