Ok '96 engine inprocess of dismantling for parts, but looking good. My '99 needs a transmission (4 speed here...), so I was thinking...

I only need a starter and top end, swap engine time? Might be alot easier than doing a transmission swap and split the case... either way, I am considering the silicone treatment after I hone/true the cylinder.

Any thoughts...

... am I nuts or what!

Can I use the existing cylinder from the '96 and swap with my '99 straight up? I can then bore the '99s cylinder and add a new oversized piston/rings The '96 parts looks real good for both. The whole transmission will also be swapped. I'll see if I can diagnose the '99s why it only shifts 4 (vrs 5 speed). Shocked

I finally got the cam chain off today and will measure it. I will compare with the 99s cam chain and use the best one (if in spec). When the new chain arrives, I'll upgrade then... pull the engine a second time... or can I swap Cam chain with the engine mounted?

I am getting into the '99 engine tomorrow and see the issues there Roll Eyes

... and I am ordering gaskets!

I purchase tools and shop supplies on a daily basis... lol
Not many really: Today... anti-sieze, 30mm & 32mm sockets, hehe ... I do need the circlips wrench for the verslavy ...

I have ordered the OEM/Suzuki complete gasket set. I have read in other posts, you can use just gasket sealer only. IF... what gasket sealer(s) would you reccomend.

I also have ordered the stainless bolt/nut set (ebay). Both should arrive later this week.

E-mailed Bore Tech concerning their bore/hone and carbon treatment of the cylinder head. This process takes about 2 weeks engine downtime and appx $160. This will make an oversize of the piston/ring specs... so a Ls660 will be in order. The piston and rings I have to check on... but I guess another $150 or so...

So JD!!!! can you say BOB IT! Since the downtime requires 3 to 4 weeks of dissasembly, additional parts, rebuild and mo money lol!

I plan to rebuild the existing carb with the jet set and gasket (also from Lancer). With these other mods, ther could be a possible Lancer new carb on order... I mean, I changed just about everything else except the tires Roll Eyes

Wolf

OH... hehe what tires would you recommend... just in case I get Huh

Thanks LANCER!

Just picked up the Mikuni 38 from Thunder Products that is on sale and the magnet for the oil filter (less than $100 for both shipped). I just couldn't pass up the savings. I know I'll need more parts to complete this mod (I may use my existing carb rejetted at first). We may have a CARB PARTY @ LANCER's... so all in the SE USA.... Cool

Sorry LANCER, so make plans everybody! Wink

Update: I picked up the OEM full gasket set and the stainless bolt/nut kit w/allen head arrived. The only thing left to modify before I rebuild is the Bore Tech procedure (bore/hone and silcone carbon treatment).

Soooooooo... This Memorial weekend will be spent dismantling the bike/engine. I am sure the wiring will get updated as some will be re-routed. I'll be taking pictures of the whole process. If there is anyone that wants a particular shot ... speak up and I'll include. I'll be including every mod (I am doing most of 'em). I will be on vacation visiting my daughter soon and hope to have the dismantle complete and the transmission switched before I leave. I plan to ship my cylinder head off so when I return, it will be ready for install. I plan the OEM O/S piston kit for this build, no need for more compressio (Wiesco sp piston)... or money hehe ... and Bore Tech will p/u the kit and check tolerances.

So by the end of June, I should have the bike reassembled and gives me a week to tweek the carb before the 4th of July. I wished I had Demin's knowledge and abilities (welding etc...). Thats ok... just alot slower here (i race between the Clymers, the SavageCD and this site as I do anything. I can take off the seat now without looking Roll Eyes

My goal is the 4th! Engine first, body later, I want to ride. This is going to be a stealth Savage Beast when it is done... well, if it turns on Lips Sealed

... did I say possible paint the frame... Huh

Wolf

ps. Hey!!! I hear of a Savage near me that has a suicide shifter (the head mechanic at the local dealership told me).... anyone with a picture of one (no I am not doing this mod.. yet) hehe I haven't seen it yet, but when I do, I hope to take a picture.

Just need to weld a connector nut on the frame for the front mount.On the rear I cut the mount off of the rear of the stock tank,and welded it to the Sporty tank.

Woohoo!

My Thunder Products arrived today! The Mikuni 38mm VM Roundslide carb, Dial a jet kit w/Snorkel kit, the UFO (ultimate flow optimizer) and Magna Guard (oil magnets).

I think I need a throttle cable to complete this particular mod... and Lancer's gift with carbs... lol!

The only thing left is my cylinder head mod (Bore tech). I'll be sending them a cleaned '96 cylinder head (ole Savage eddies). I plan to use the '96 case and "5" speed transmission (it works). I'll still rip mine apart to looksee for the future and use any parts ('99 starter, etc...) . I may swap/rebuild the clutch if the '96 w 10K dosen't work out. That is easy to get to.

Oh! ... and the nitride cam chain (hopefully) will be here within a month ... or so. The '96s cam chain ... MAY... be ok, but would rather switch out now; I may just purchase a OE chain (unless someone has a nitrided cam chain they are not using). Everything is paid except the Bore tech and o/s piston kit and shipping. Total for this is $300 more Lips Sealed

The next 2 weeks will be spent taking the engine apart and marking/storage/photo. I'll send out the cylinder head then since the process takes 2 weeks appx and when I return from visiting my daughter, then the assembly.

I'll post a pic of the carb parts I received today (later).

Thanks Lancer! My intent is to have this ready to ride on the 4th of July Roll Eyes
