Turning 10,000 Today
11/26/13 at 15:33:48

I am at 9,994 as I parked at work today, an exciting milestone for me

I got the S-40 end of March and was planning to just ride with the wife on weekends and take small trips. As fate would have it I own a Pontiac Grand Am and it did what Pontiacs do, stop running. I must admit that I am in no real hurry to get the junker running and am really enjoying the 27 mile one way commute to work.

I took a photo at !,000 miles and will again at 10,000 and I hope to take another pic at 100,000 but that is a long way off Grin

Just thought I'd share the joy

Congrats!!! But.. must have pictures. There is a saying around here. "If there isn't a picture, it didn't happen"

Dane and danjray

At 42,000 miles I was chasing a engine noise and suppected piston raddle. So I bought a 95mm piston and went into the motor to do a bore job. Welll the piston skirt was wore out but the cylinder didn't even have a ring-grove. (as in piston raddle in the hole). I should have put a fresh factory(94mm) piston in and run it another 42,000 , But there I was with a 95mm piston in hand ; so I bored it out , "BIG MISTAKE".... MORAL of the story ,

Keep the oil fresh
do the Versey cam-tentioner at about 14-15 k miles
keep the valve-clearence close
leave well enough alone and keep riding !

Oh yea ; when that little tapping noise does come-in about 50,000 or so .... look for a ring grove befor you buy the larger piston. Huh
