Thanks for all the kind words ya all!!! I am on the hunt as we speak for my old stuff... Saw an ad in the paper today for an "unknown year Honda 3 wheeler complete, no title as is. and a "ton" of old quadsport parts, frames, engines, rims etc....CHEAP!!"
I had micro stamped 90% of everything, so my fingers are crossed...

I am taking a cop friend, so I will not commit any violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think that I speek for everyone here when I say that our fingers are crossed right with you in hopes that that is your sh&t !!! I helped a friend today with on old 85 honda xr200r motorcycle. Boy is the 230 easier to wrench on, anyway I did not get a chance to even start my little valve seal job, plus I am not sure if I want to get new valves for it too. I may have to set this asde a few days , a friend just traded his yerf dog cart for a 1988 honda 250x i am positive he will be suckin up my time for his bike.

 

u should at least inspect the valves seat for burning every 230 head i tore apart had burned valve seats

 

As far as the new valves go. Its my opinion that......Valves are cheap. I have only rebuilt the very,very top end of a sport once. I replaced everything but the casting[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] That was one rebuild, one overbore, a stage two camshaft and about..........5 years ago.
I run high end full synthetic oil to keep the cam from chewing up the rockers. But ive had no trouble out of the valves or seats. To tell the truth, after it was all said and done, I had more beer money tied up in finding the correct valve spring compressor than top,top end parts.
Talk about a humbling experience, it got to the point that my U.P.S. guy was "wishing me luck THIS TIME" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] when a new v.s. tool would show up.

Sometimes, I miss those days. SOMETIMES......................................... .................any body need a valve spring compresser for a 72, 3 1/2 horsepower briggs and straton go cart engine............? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

When it comes to rebuilding the top end, I am a firm beliver in replacing ALL the old parts. After all, do you really know if/when they were ever serviced?


Good Luck and............................... Keep-em-alive.

Re-submit your auther icon man. That will fix your "no icon' problem.

 

automotive c clanp type works just fine on the 230 for those springs

 

I GOT MY TRIKE BACK!! Should get about 1/2 of my 230 parts back, hopefully more!! No 270cc motor though!!

And most imoprtant, the D!@khead is going to jail on his 5th strike!!!!

ol230qs...... As far as pix go, I am pretty much a computer moron, so I went to the lowest resolution on my camera and took a pic of my pix on my monitor. Ghetto I know, but it worked!
