metal gasket

after taking out heads, cylinders and pistons, only the problem i found was a broken base gasket. i bought a sheet of alminum from a hardware shop and made the gasket for the first time. it looks okay. i hope it works okay too.

blog update

one February day, the motor was on the ground again.

hello 2012

2012 had started, already 4 weeks into it. i rode my xr a couple of times before i took it to zero engineering for check and small modification. taking parts at zero's warehouse, cold and dark. i'll have the motor down by next week. so far, i haven't find anything major by the look of the front bank cylinder... broken base gascket and slight excess of carbon on front top of the piston head.

i hope 2012 would be the better one for me and for my country.
