Okay, so I went to the local yamaha dealer, and the mechanic looked at it. His suggestion Skip honing, it, there was a obvious oil leak, so just rebuild it. The top of the valve springs he said was mushroomed, wouldn't trust them. New Pistons, The pistons were ping'ing on the valves. New valves, new everything, and rebore it. Any suggestions, I am going to create a new thread hoping for local MN/WI input after I copy the pic's here.
So has anyone done this, and Was it prohibitively expensive? this mechanic felt it would be $2,000. usd. (http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11533&page=2)
Does any one with specific knowledge about the Western Wisconson, Minnesota machine shops, that have been really good with us? Pics are coming, same items, just I have to get my 7yo from school before I can put them up.
Pics will be posted on that other thread.
