My Honda is blooding... Oil is liking on transmision shaft oil seal (the big one 34x62x14) now do i need to takeapart the whole engine to change it or I can change it witouth that??? ...Thanks

That's bad luck.

You are right. You have to open the complete engine, esp. the upper and lower crankcase.
Lift the reward-transmission-axle only 2 or3 centimeter for changing the seal.

When reassambly the parts you have pay attention on the centering-pin at the other side of the needle-bearing (also reward tramission axle). And you have to pay attention on the marker (1 - 9 -25) of the conpensator-chain.

Hello. Can somebody help me.... I have bought a new Wiseco std bore piston... in witch direction shuld arrow on piston point??? "up" or "down"

Up- arrow is pointig on side where is carburator

Down- arrow is pointing on the side where is exhaust

Usualy you need to put piston that arrow is pointing "up" but in user manual for this wiseco piston says that you need to put piston in that way so arrow on the piston is pointing to exhaust. Is that right????




And how shuld I arrange piston rings gap's?

I understand no nothing. How can an arrow on the surface of a piston point "up" or "down"?

[...] but in user manual for this wiseco piston says that you need to put piston in that way so arrow on the piston is pointing to exhaust. Is that right????

The arrow of my wiseco points towards the exhaust (see picture).

And how shuld I arrange piston rings gap's?

Turn them 180° each.
