The DT is dead!

NO! Any ideas what happened? And on such a glorious day too...

Whats happened Paul?

Oh no!

Just pulled it apart. 2 broken rings!

It's been making a right racket ever since I put my spare barrel on. I'm surprised it lasted this long...it was worn out and ported, last oversize chinese piston no doubt

All is not lost though. Jason kindly sent me another barrel up and it's at the re-borers from last friday...then it'll have to go for aqua blasting because it's cosmetically grotty. Hopefully I'll be back on the road soon and it looks like I might be running in if I get it sorted for the rally

Ha...thats a good point!

At least i have the temperature indicator, that'll help

Well that sucks so close to your guys big event,did it take the bottom end with it? Last bore is always sketchy now all that fancy tuning is out the window and your going to have to start over, at least you have all the stuff to do it now.

Good luck hope you get it back together and running fine for squires

It was only idling at the time, I was just waiting to pull out of a junction luckily, thanks for the good wishes dt

good luck getting it sorted in time Paul

thanks tommy

it's been two days now ? have you fixed it paul..

The barrels at the borers, pick up friday

saturday it's off to the aqua blasters and then to work for a respray

I'm waiting for a set of rings to end on ebay, got a new piston and pin and small end

if it all goes exceptionally well she'll be back together next week when the rings arrive ...hopefully

Fingers crossed Paul.

that's the hard part, waiting for parts. especially when you want to get in it!

It's done

IT175 head, heas a better combustion area

Cant wait to get out!

Once again Paul, spot on. You have a couple of weeks to get those rings bedded in before "the big one"!

Looks great!

Aah so you have opted for the it head with central spark plug! I may try this too, let us know how you get on!
