seized :(

drove college when i arrived smoke was bellowing out of the exhaust so i assumed top end gasket, came out of class later and started it and water/antifreeze pissed out exhaust, so i left it..went to the gym. came back and it turned over twice on the buttin then the kick start was jammed up.

pretty sure its seized.


just thought id tell you :emb:

 

like i said m8, this happened to me, take the spark plug out and then kick it, if it kicks, its the gasket thats gone so get some new 1's, (have a look at the barrel tho aswell incase theres any scratches on it and if there is use wet and dry to smooth them out) then put it all back together with new gaskets, and u should be away

 

Should have ran it in properly Jamie!

 

i did arc: :wtf:

seriously i did

 

AAHH jamie bad luck mate...your gonna have to get the top end off and investigate!!

Maybe you should of joined the polini posse instead imp:

sorry mate couldnt resist

 

i gather thats why you tried to ring me earlier

sorry dude was at the nec and left my phone at home

anyway. i did say there was a high risk failure rate

your old piston seized and you didnt know why. so why will a 70 kit fix it.

running in is a little hard on a 70 and you didnt exactly take it steady

dunno what to say theres a big problem somewhere its not it overheating though as i bled your coolant properly etc

 

bad luck jay m8. did you increase oil for the 70??

 

yep we did

 

dont sound good then does it

 

jamie hoped the 70 kit would solve the bikes problems but now 2 cylinders down on the new engine it doesnt seem so

 

i never thought a 70 can last long whatever make it is

obviosusely they do just not that one

 

my gasket went on mine was well, but only cos it wasn't getting enough oil and melted it when it over heated

Make sure it's getting enough oil otherwise you will be in the same mess I'm in

 

haha all the 2extreme crew have fucked bikes because of their kits lol :w00t:

 

suck a dick!

 

cheers for the replies everyone,, sorry i havent spoken i was asleep :emb:

but yeh cheers for the help ill have to whip the top end off on saturday or sunday cuz ive got college tomoro/today

am hoping its not to serious.

ahh well just means that my 172 project will be starting earlier.

2 EXTREME FTL(for the lose)
:nerd:

stick to well known makes boys..it will be worth it in the end

 

my 2 extreme kit is still going strong
and i was the first one on here to get one
is everyone whos got one sure they know what theyre doing ?
i didnt even run mine in for fuk sake

 

id still put it down to the owners fitting/running of the kits, rather than the actual kits themselves, if the gaskets were that shocking then surely andys would have gone by now if he's had his longer than both of you. they may not last as long, but jesus they should last longer than a month :w00t:

 

they bought the kit, clearlythey don't know what they are doing.
