New valve seals wouldn't be a bad idea...:blah:

[capecod400ex]

just stock valve seals but new ones.?

[2000ex]

Along with replacing the valve seals, I would definitely go ahead and replace the timing chain with the heavy duty one from the CRF450. You can get both of these from Service Honda.

I did all my motor work myself, so I cannot help you with finding a qualified shop that will do the work for a reasonable price :ermm:

I am sure there are places out there :cool:

I'd go with an aftermarket set...like Viton,,they'll withstand heat much better than stockers...:) Timing chain wouldn't be bad either.. Might as well get a new clutch setup too from sparks racing or FDO and install it too while ya got the clutch out to put in the timing chain...:eek:

Robs Racing Engines is a good place to get your motor built. Hes in merrimack new hampshire i belive.

I ordered the same exact kit, it cam ein on thursday, im having a buddy do it, sorry no idea abotu any places in England? its not to complicated, i jsut dont have the time, press teh old sleeve out is the hardest thing, might need a tool from a machine shop.

[Plante400]

My bad New england, o i know a few places i think, wear abouts do u live

[Bender]

I'd go to Rob's Racing in Merrimack too. He's built over 100 ex race motors, tons of 250R's. Has a nice machine shop and very good prices. he's building me a nice motor for GNCC. He's races and he's really laid back too. Nice guy.

hammer and wood block worked for me and thats how i got the new one in

















not relly

[capecod400ex]

i live in mass but it sounds like it worth the drive up to that place u have a phone or web site for it

[capecod400ex]

why is the 400ex chain like 60 bucks but the crf one is only 20

[hondafox440]

Robb's is the place to go. He built my 440 motor, even after the machine shop effed it up when installing the sleeve (ground too much off). He made me a custom spacer and everything. I would definitely recommend him.
