K100 from D.C. Area
« on: May 14, 2015, 01:03:34 PM »
Greetings all,

I picked up a basket case 85 K100 a while ago and am finally getting around to working on it.  I had no compression and their seemed to be dirt in more than one cylinder, almost like mud wasps had set up shop.  I pulled the head and piston and the bores looked surprisingly well.  No rust or pits and the cross hashing is still there.  So I got a good set of pistons and rings and it's time to reverse the wrenches.  I post as updates are available.

Cheers,
S

Hey,

I'm in Silver Spring, not too far. Looks like you've got quite the project, should be interesting.

Hey S,

I'm working on an 85 k100 in Alexandria. Let me know if you need a pair of hands.

Alex,
Thanks for the offer, I have a couple other projects going right now but I hope to get back to the brick soon.
