Engine Rebuild Consumable Replacement
Posted: Fri May 22, 2015 3:55 pm
Hey fellas,
New join here and was hoping you could help me with some questions regarding a 160 Monza I'm doing a new top end on. I purchased the bike recently and the PO had recently removed the head. It's got a new once over piston/ring set and gasket set.
That said, when I went to take apart the head I got to looking and the gasket set doesn't include the o-ring for head nor the replacement lock washer for the cam or new crush washers for the oil lines. Thus I began my search for these parts and I'm having a rough go of it. Where do you gentlemen get these when you do your rebuilds and what sizes do I need? The crush washers appear to be 10mm (I need to get out the calipers) and I don't want to assume on the o-ring since it may be squished. Do you all generally reuse the cam lock washer?
Lastly, the little crusty gal also kind of pulled one over on me with regards to the head bolts - I can't tell if there are washers on them or not - they may or may not be there, but even after cleaning and tapping with a punch (lightly) it appears that they aren't there...that or I'm crumpling them or damaging the head. Neither of which are desirable!
Thanks in advance!
