Nobody probably cares, but I jumped another step in my wannabe mechanic career and did my first cyclinder bore today. I did it on a old XR200 my friend complained of poor power and white smoke. When I took it apart the rings were shot and there was a huge out of round in the cylinder. So we had ordered the new parts a while back I just needed a day to do it all. I just made triple checks on my measurements and made sure they were all exact down to .0003". Maybe I am just that good or I got lucky, everything went together perfectly, I just have to wait for the gasket kit cause he forgot to get that for me ( doh ).

Just thought I would share =)

Yea thats one of my personal long term goals. Not so much goto buissness school and open my own retain dealership, but work as a motorcycle and ATV mechanic for a dealer, and have my own freelance shop at home where I race ready engines, build custom race machines, and stuff like that.

I will keep in line with this site for some good deals so you guys dont worry =)
