...so now I'm questioning the plan I laid out in yesterdays post. I posted my plan of overhauling the top end of the engine on Hondachopper.com and folks responded saying to check the compression first, and if its OK don't waste the time doing the overhaul. I take the doctors oath which is "Do no Harm", so I'll get a compression tester today and check it out this afternoon. I should have checked the compression when the motor was in the bike still, but failed to do so. There is a part of me that wants to do the engine work, just to say I've done it...however I need to stay focused on the end task, which is a chop. I'll have plenty of time to tear an engine down in the future, no reason to do it now if I don't need to...and risk screwing something up.
