79 CR250 Engine Resto

Here are the pictures and descriptions of the engine restoration
for my 79 CR250. I disassembled the engine, cleaned and
measured all the components, The crankshaft was sent out for
a rebuild and I NDIed the tranny components. All the springs,
thrust washers and circlips were replaced along with any part
that didn't spec out. Incredibly, the cylinder still had the original
chrome bore and was in excellent condition.

After repairing the corrosion and other problems with the various
parts, I painted the inside of the cases and clutch cover with color
matched Glyptal paint. I temporarily bolted the cases, clutch cover,
ignition cover, cylinder and head together and powder coated every
thing Satin Tahitian Red as a unit.
