Well I finally got down to SC to pick up these parts. Things went great, the seller even had lots of 14 year olds to help us load stuff up. I havent had a chance to really go through the parts, but I can tell that the crank shaft will need a new big end bearing. The fully assembled machine had noticeably low compression. It tested at 70 psi when I got home. Pulled the head and could see the smallest chip in the piston at the exhaust port. looks like a Honda piston though.

piston .. exhaust bridge is intact ..

Get the PB blaster on them studs ASAP also might want to remove the cylinder nuts and spray PB around them even if you don't pull the cylinder right away...

Good score, what are your plans for the first odyssey, are you going to get it running?

That bracket for the shift cables is way to cool, I just bought one for my sons odyssey build, I didn't think about making one out of scrap metal

Bob

the entire second frame is best described as scrap haha.

yeah on the 1st i am going to at least bore it and throw a new piston in it. I may go all the way and strip and paint it, but at the same time its nice to have one as a beater so I can ride the hell out of it and not worry about my pretty paint job haha.

I see it came with a GNCC bumper installed all it needs is for you to sharpen the leading edges a little, if the GNCC inspectors complain just make it look square with bondo and paint it will still do its job and mangle up the other guys bumper when he slams into you.

Nice score!!!

yeah, i'll be close to you soon haha. I now have 3 runners, 1 sled project, 2 rollers and enough parts to build those two back.


Hoser : that's what I thought about that rear bumper too, then I saw the bent up center bar and I think it was just the only way they could get anymore life out of that frame. the steel plates go down and underneath as well. looks like the rear bottom hit something very hard at some point in the past.

Cut that whole gob of shit off that old frame and figure a way to turn it into a bumper for racing on your running 350, don't even paint it lmao
