if you do, add the Ebay coil over set.

ya but, 178000 klms.... i dont think $500 is fair. id say $300 but like seven said, if you ripped it out the wreckers then $500 is well worth the time and engine.

Perfect! thats all i needed to know. thanks for your help guys.  I went to go look at engines today, they had 2 des and 2 zes. One of the des looked awasome, pratically bran new. The pulleys didnt even have and rust on them. The valve covers wernt oxidied a bit but once you remove the oil cap it was...

ok i get it all now. thanks, that did clear some things up. now i know what ill be looking for when i head to japan power on the wekend. id actually prefer to have kl01 cams cuz i like the low end torque. so in actual reality im just looking for kl31 and kl stamped on the heads. that will tell me if...

oh i was under the impression that de's had signifigant different head codes that the ze's. Thanks for that clarification. So the only thing thats really differnet between the two is the pistons right? the ze's are domed and de's are flat or is it the other way around? I presume that ze's have large...

ohh im a little confused now. i thaught you meant that a klde and a klze will both have either kl31-1a1 and kl31-101 stamped on the heads. so do de's have one specific stamping on the heads or could they also have either. What im really looking for is a way to tell between a de and a ze. becasue jap...

So youre saying that a ze will have kl31-1a1 and kl31-101 stamped on the heads? Then how can i be sure that...

Hey, well ive been hanging low for some time now just reading and searching topics gathering as much info as i can regarding the swap ill be doing and i have a few questions. 1. replacing the clutch. ive read alot about clutches and im going with either exeedy or bully.

Im looking for a g series halfshaft that will fit a 5 speed GS mx. looking for something is deasent shape and preferbly close to minimize shipping costs.

for the compression, how many klm's have you driven so far? Its most likely because the rings havnt set yet and your compression will be low. Wait untill the car is broken in to test the compression.

lol i think you mean rotors?

but ya, it will wear off pretty quickly, you'll just have alot of brake dust.

That is if you can even move lol.

just remember, you get what you pay for....

ive done alot of thinking when it come down to modifying them. but in reality i dont want to be fabricating crankshafts because its the most important piece in the engine and there designed to be the exact way for the years that they cover. for example, the crank for a 85 and 86 are almost identical...

hey, thanks for the help. i have that connecting rod. its just on a bad crankshaft. i dont need the connecting rod, mine only has about 15 hours on it. all i need is just the two halves of the crankshaft in good condition.

i appreciate the help though.

hey, ive got myself a 1984 cr125. ive been building this thing up since last year and i rode it for a season. Now i had my connecting rod changed by a shop because i dont have the proper tools to split and balance/index a crankshaft. The shop totally F**** up my crankshaft and ive tried fighting the...
