[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 207701, member: 4617"] Was thinking about the leak down test that I want to do. Should be able to do the leak down test before putting the air chamber back in, or anything else on. This way don't have to determine when the valves are closed, just make sure the pistons are at top dead centre. The rings are the only other issue when it comes to compression and want a warm and fuzzy that all is well. One comment from my brother was that back in the day when we did an engine rebuild, if you do the top end, you do the bottom end as well, or you will eventually. Understand this for the rings, but as Tony has mentioned, these are very robust engines and new mains and con rod bearings generally do not need to be replaced. Besides, only a few of these bearings exist. Bronko37's thread: [url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=10690]viewtopic.php?f=22&t=10690[/url] is a good tutorial if the rings have to be done. Read through his thread, extremely informative. Have bookmarked several others that will be of assistance as well if needed. Cheers [/QUOTE]
