066 is back to life today..Trash to Treasure

[Martinm210]

I had been working on this one for a little while and met success today. Figured I'd post a couple of pics

This is what I started with:
A few parts saw, mainly I just used the one 066, but I have a second 066 case/jug and one 064 case.

My first saw rebuild that I started. Not really knowing what I was getting myself into, I ended up buying quite a few parts new that were missing.

More pics in the next post...

Doing a little cleanup on the ports, nothing major, mainly just cleanup. This was a Bailey's 066BB kit.

Exhaust port

Opening up the piston windows...

Yesterday, I finally got around to doing the bottom end. Thanks to Andy's case splitting thread, I made a similar tool:

New bearings and seals going in:

And today....we have fire!!!

Still doing some tuning/tweaking with my little Tach wired, up...but it's running great. Just about time to put in the limiter caps and cover grommet. I think I'll leave the tach on for a little while though...kind of fun watching it.

Chips are flying, thanks for all the help. I couldn't have done it without all the great how to threads and experiences..:yourock:

Really nice looking work. If it run's half as well as it looks, you'll be great!

Congrats on some excellent work!

Thanks!

And thanks to Brad for the tips on the piston window. I followed your lead on opening up those windows and I'm sure that's part of the goodness going one..

Also impressed with your good work.....what did you press bearings in with ?

 

[gink595]

Wow that baby looks new. Good thread I'll be doing one similiar soon

Your pictures show the BB kit. Did you use the supplied rings or opt for others? DP muffler?

How many revs is it turning?

I just use a cheap Harbor Freight 1Ton arbor press. I think they run around $50 at your HF tools store. I don't know how you could do it without some sort of press. Even heating the case halves, I still needed the press to finish fitting the brearings and also pressing them out. In addition I had one bearing pull out of the case and stick to the crank where I used a large two prong puller to pull it off.

Then I just use sockets for arbors and a piece of 2x4 with a larger hole cut out for the crank to fit down in.

For pulling it together I used the long M5 threaded rod method, same that I did for my 044, it works well:

I used the kit rings although I do have a meteor 066 piston and rings coming in the mail. I got impatient and just tried the kit rings. I actually have a spare stock 066 jug that's useable, so if it failed, I'd have a backup. I put some extra time into making these ports more round with good chamfers on them, so I took the risk.

I didn't dual port the muffler, but I did significantly open up the stock port alot:

Wow!!!!

Great job !!!!!!!

How many revs is it turning?

I'd kind of like to do a little more break in before pushing it too hard, but I got a glimps of at least 12,500. I've got it four-stroking pretty good and an 8tooth sprocket. The tach I'm using is pretty cheap, only about $30, so it's response time on the RPM is usually a few seconds. I'm sure it'll turn at least 13K, but I had planned to do your typical fine the max and back it off, but I'll probably stick with 13K as my H setting.
