First load of parts arrived! Full timing belts, water pump, belt rollers, gaskets and what not else. Also a sweet refinished cam tower!

Porsche teardown continues…
Got the head off today and found minimal damage (yay!). So far it looks like two bent valves and no marks on the pistons. Also I snapped some pics of the refinished intake and throttle body.

Yamaha R6 06-08 fork conversion
I got a new set of forks for the Raven – they originally came off an 07 R6, but they seem to fit the ’05 without any problems!

The last toy … $990 1986 Porsche 944
I’m officially done with toys for the year, the last acquisition being an ’86 Porsche 944. The car skipped a tooth on the timing belt and bent some valves and it also needs some minor body work. It came with maintenance records from the mid 90s and tires that look almost brand new!
Lower QP has been replaced in the past, looks like there’s some surface rust near the welds.
Replacement head, sourced locally for $150

Seadoo rebuild with WSM kit
Got the Seadoo running with $180 worth of parts. All it took was a top end rebuild kit from WSM and a $15 cylinder hone from harbor freight. After a minor mishap with the rotary valve timing (apparently carbs aren’t supposed to blow air…) the motor fired right up.
