water in the oil

[smw450r]

just rebuilt my 05 honda 450r and it's got maybe a tank of gas ran through it, i noticed my radiator was low on fluid filled it back up and rode a little more and then when i came back checked everything again, but this time the oil was just a lilttle milky, everything is new, do you think i need to get my head resurfaced? the guy i got it from blew it up so i firgured it proably got hot might have warped it a bit what you guys think?

[Beaudacious]

either there or check your mechanial seal behind the waterpump impeller

[smw450r]

ok i'll check that first just curious but wouldn't the water be getting into my transmission oil if that seal was bad

[Beaudacious]

sorry brain fart your right gotta be head gasket

[smw450r]

lol your not the first one that told me that so don't worry, yea so what ya think get the head resurfaced ?

[Beaudacious]

yep cut er 25thou and put a new gasket in and she should b fine oh ya has the had been ported?

[smw450r]

nope not yet in the future i'm gonna get it ported though, im running a 12.5/1 baldwin piston is it gonna bump the compression up any if so do i gotta run something higher than 93 octaine?

[Beaudacious]

you might gain 1 or 2 more points i would be using at least 104 octane with even 12.0:1 comp im running 13.6:1 and i run 112 leaded but its my opinion on the situation lots o people on here are misinformed i think

[smw450r]

yea i planned on running 110vp and 93 octaine 50/50 mix, but just wanna get everything right first if ya know what i mean, guess i'll order some new gaskets again when i get paid grrrr...., but thks for the info, just wanted to get a second opion on the matter, but here is the build i got alot more done to it now just haven't updated the pics yet if you wanna check it out http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=267389009&albumId=1057693

Cool pics is it still Std Bore watch when you use VP make sure you Strain it lots of sediment in the barrels
I portd my head and flowbenched it as i went Got 314 CFM of airflow out of it from 236 CFM stock and it dyoed at 61.5 Hp at the wheels STD Bore

[smw450r]

how do you strain it, and dang i bet your bike fly's, but yea it std bore, i just bought a new cylinder from babbittsonline.com

[Beaudacious]

i see alot of people spendway more money on here than they need to im not saying i didnt buy any parts for my motor but i spent more time than most people would i have 40 hours of portwork in my head i have raced against 520 NMotion motors with DASA orSparks Heads and walked all over them and im still just a little old 450cc attetion to detail and homework are wat makes them fast i even built my own exhaust system cause the Pro Circuit system i had was too loud and te system i built picked up 4 HP on the Dyno and it looks cooler

[Beaudacious]

[smw450r]
