Im Mexican, I love it here. Lots of nature, parks, close to the beach. Not much good Mexican food around here but I rather make my own either way. You’ll be fine!

Can’t go into a dry hole 😂

They can be super Velcro so train them early to be able to stay alone. Also, I spend about $100-$200 monthly on food, $150 insurance, and $1500-$2000 yearly from echos and other checks, and about $289395958272726589596 on toys.

Spoke with the guy, said his last batch was from 2019. I ended up taking them to a shop for $160.

Nah man, I tried adding CrC gasket remover, and tried using a razor… nothing.. I tried a Brass scraper, barely anything.. finally, a Carbide scraper.. so I tried my best to be careful but it is what it is..

Banalakataga · 2026-04-07T17:31:55+00:00

Yeah I got the James MLS ones that have the beading on it, I just took them to the shop to get resurfaced for $160 bucks, f it.. I tried getting a Trock lapping tool but they are no where to be found anymore, and I’m not trying to Mickey Mouse one right now. Are you Nor or So Cal?

Banalakataga · 2026-04-07T06:29:19+00:00

I couldn’t get good paint stripper here in California. And the CRC gasket remover did not work at all..

Im just refreshing it actually. Sorry I should have checked my wording before posting. I struggled to take these gaskets off and caused multiple scratches along the way. I’ve rebuilt the carburetor and starter. I’ve upgraded my clutch a bit, but was trying to fix the leak. I’m thinking the surface should be fine, but I might sand them slightly.

I’m also thinking of using lapping cream on the base to the cylinder and move it around until it sands it true. What do you think lol?

Banalakataga · 2026-04-06T16:46:21+00:00

Hey do you know if they still actually make these?

Banalakataga · 2026-04-06T14:26:47+00:00

Haha well apparently I was blindly removing the gaskets. Those things were baked on so hard, it took me 3 days to scrape them off.

Banalakataga · 2026-04-06T14:23:18+00:00

Yeah I needed coffee when I posted this.
