Spaceman,
Since you asked, I am working on a 450 Honda Foreman engine today. I have a 400 Honda foreman with a serious knock and since it is our only transportation in the village it has to work. So I bought a 450 with a broken frame but a good engine and am working on the replacement. I decided to change the valves, put in a new piston and rings and hone the cylinder before installing it.
It is a fantastic day for it too as it was 37 this morning and the trees are losing their yellow leaves. Because I felt like mechanicing this morning I am also changing 503 engines out of a Skandic snow machine. Last year our first snow was on the 21st of Sept. so it is just around the corner. I can't wait because the pesky mosquitos and white socks will be a thing of the past after the first snow.
And so we remain on topic, I am enviously waiting to hear all the cool stuff you guys are going to get to trade back and forth at Judith's.
My last mix of PC I made my towmixer froze one tire up so I fear I have destroyed it. I will be in Montana for part of January and I'll take it apart to see if it is re-buildable. Might be cheaper to just buy a new rear end and start over from scratch. If you are new and building a towmixer, don't forget to fill it with oil to keep things lubricated inside with it in its new position!
