The new parts has arrived

Bought piston/rings, primary chain, complete set of guides and tensioners, main and bigend bearings, gasketset, oilsealset and a couple of replacement valves. Will order more stuff as needed and can be afforded, but this package really gets the rebuild going :-) Enjoy

Moving the frame

Everything except the engine had been stored at a friends place, but the guy is just too busy and lives too far away for it to be practical when the assembly fase comes up. So I had to move everything closer to home in my old volvo. It was a tight fit, and had to remove most parts, but in the end the volvo could accomodate the honda :-) What a nice unification of the two machines I love and work on. Even though it had been stored nice and dry it was dusty and dirty. I almost gave up the entire thing with all the work ahead, but luckily a wipe and some tlc made it all worth while again. Am now waiting impatiently for the new parts to arrive and getting the machinework done.
