I won't be at Tahuya Saturday, you guys have a good ride. I still think the Overland to Mission to Tahuya River Trail would be the best, just don't take the Tahuya River Trail all the way to the Horse Camp, cut back to the main road after you cross the bridge, they'll be a sign, stay to the right, Good Luck.

 

Angie- you might want to have the head looked at to see if the valve seats are still okay. Most likely, the seats might need some tlc as well. A quality local parts house should be able to get those valves for around 35 ponies (both of them), a cam is it the ballpark of 82 duckets, cam chain 13

 

Dang that ain't bad. The thing that is going to suck is the labor charge! Hmm, well its something to think about. Oh i will be up to pick my filter up in acouple of hours, along with some other things. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Thats why you try to find someone you know to work on it for you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I happen to know of a decent mechanic that might look into it for you!!

The compression is a mechanically set by the piston and cylinder head. If the valves are closing all the way the compression can't change. If valve lash is going bad as fast as you say, then they need to quit adjusting and start changing parts as something is wrong big time. Oh yeah, adjusting the valve will not change compression unless the valve are held open (I never heard of valves adjustment going bad and holding valves open, unless something broke). The valve can affect compression if they are not closing all the way. Compression will never effect the valves. I think you need to find a shop that knows what they are doing, cause these guys you are going to ain't gittin' er done.

 

Yes, but if these jokers are adjusting the valves correctly and the adjustment goes away in a couple of rides, then readjustment is not gonna cure anything. Compression is not the problem, valve train parts are and to tell the customer you adjusted compression is a lie, unless you changed a head gasket, cut the head or changed the piston. A poor valve adjust because valves can't change static compression, only dynamic compression, besides I never heard a real mechanic tell anyone they adjusted compression.

I heard the price in beer is outrageous![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] But the quality of the work is outstanding. Beside's he actually knows what he is doing, WQ.

 

He needs cash right now, he has one more 450 to buy. His family rode my Hondas, and now the Yamahas are sold.
