Just had the '67 250 engine vapor-media blasted.
Is there anything that I should do to maintain it? Engine clear?
Thx

Media blasting engine
According to the bike documentation, the engines for the '60s bevel engines are made of a "light alloy" Not really helpful. I guess Aluminum Alloy? I want to media blast my 250 single engine, for appearance sake. What is the best media for this that wont damage the engine cases? Baking Sod...

What am I? 1967 250
Not real sure what it is. Last tagged in 1972. The label on the neck of the frame says MKII Seat does not have the buttons along the side. The headlight (havnt see it on any other Ducati) Obnoxiously large fork brace. Rear fender looks like Monza or GT. Bend in handle bars doesnt quite look like Mon...

I have been resleeved, honed, valve seats cut, new guides, have a new piston and rings. Taking it out of the boxes...

Sears Sabre was made by Puch, along with a lot of other SEARS motorbikes from the late 50s to early 70s. That 124 was a Gilera. Mine was a 50cc, 2stroke, 4speed/clutch transmission. About 45mph max. I fixed it up and donated it to a private school for their yearly auction. The winner has put 1 mile ...

New valve guide install
'67 Ducati 250 Monza spring valve (non-desmo) I am installing new bronze valve guides. Heating the head enough so that I will be able to slide the new guides in. Wife has given me the permission to use the crappy household oven. What temperature should I heat it to? 300 degrees to much? Should I or ...

Chicago neophite
I think I intro'd myself years ago, and only have a few messages to my credit, so I thought I would reintroduce myself and sort-a start over. My name is Drew and I just moved to Chicago from Atlanta. I have been riding for 20+ years and a certified motorcycle tech and nut. Have owned and restored a ...

I posted to BevelHead message board, and got some good advice, but I just can not picture how it is done with the suggestions given. I replied with an attachment of what I was looking at, but I think the picture size was too large and will be rejected by moderator, so I am asking you dudes for help....

Drilled and chiseled it out. As a result, I boogered up the sleeve. I have a new 74.5 piston. Where can i fin...

Glad I found this original posting. I am a newbie on here as I just acquired a 1960-something, Bevel 250 scarmbler barn find in Georgia for $200.00. 1. How can I tell what year it is? The lable on the steeering stem says 196, bit the last digit is not there. 2. Also, I have the oil drain bolt out to...
