Engine barf.

Options..

Tippitty-tap. 

 I need a cam chain riveting tool.

"Mines" is too damn big.

The snug down was essential.

Oh, how the Honda bond does cure.

 Pretty.

Clean.

 Dental tools.

Zip-ties. 

Re-build Set-up.

Preparation.

Maybe santa will stop by tomorrow and help me finish up.

Cam chain went swimming earlier.

Ready for cylinders.

 If there is an arrow on the piston, point it toward the exhaust.

If there is IN stamped on it, well then that faces the intake.

 ９０パーセント準備だな。

Perfect song for an X-mas eve alone.

Top to bottom.

Period correct.

Gonna get chopped.

Moyou approved.

This was the piston with the seized clip in the cb160 engine I was trying to use...

Damaged beyond repair = Crank swap.

+Bottom end rebuild.

+New oil seals.

What else should I do while I'm down there.....

Take your pick.

Left engine could easily be a runner.

I got the right engine from a guy after a bit of valve failure blew a piston.

Left cylinder.....

....was leaking oil into the combustion chamber.

Valves looked good.

 Workspace. 

 Hideaway.

 The culprit.

Piston pin seizure. (?)

...and of course I can't get it out.

Zen.

CB160 top end disassembly

For the stock bike.

Work space: 

Dirty.

 Clean.

 Magik.

First: 

Remove tappet covers and loosen valves.

 Second:

Remove engine head plate.

9 nuts.

 Third:

Bring the engine to TDC, loosen cam chain, and remove master link.

(Don't loose anything, dummy.)

 Fourth:

Pop the head off.

Tap with a rubber mallet if stuck.

(Don't loose any dowels.)

 Yeah.

None of the valves look bad but I will be taking in an extra head just in case...

 Time to slip the cylinder block off.

That damn chain is going to want to run and hide.

My countermeasure key-rings turned out to be untrustworthy. 

 Done for now.

The oil in this parts engine I got from Midohio two years ago was like muddy sludge....

Don't think I will be using this one without a complete bottom end rebuild....

 Family photo.  

These guys are always down for tinkering.

Taking it to Quinlin's Automotive.

They like working on old bikes and their quote was 1/4 of a different shop in town....
