Hi all,
I will be devoting many hours to my '90 syncro westy in the next few weeks.
So I will be probing the List gurus' vast knowledge.
First I will be rebuilding the top end.
I have new heads, new pistons, new rods and bearings, new oil pump, new
lifters.
I last did this level of work 20 years ago so I'm proceeding deliberately.
My first query is whether the new pistons should be initially honed ( I
read that Boston Bob used to do this) is it necessary? And concerning the
lifters I also read that immersing them in oil for some days will help fill
them and make them usable without the complicated Bentley bleeding
technique.
These are the first of many requests for guidance.
All comments and advice are welcome.
Rick Koller
