Re: Harmonic balancer cap siezed
I'm not sure I understand. All BH s with the 350 or 502 have no harmonic damper, just an aluminum pulley to drive the alternator'. You should be able to remove that allen bolt with an impact gun and a 1//4 inch hex socket. Go easy with the impct, just gently rattle it until it comes out. There is no...

Re: Harmonic balancer cap siezed
Chevy balancers are a press fit on the crankshaft. get a suitable puller and pull it off. No real need to remove the SHC to pull the balancer but it will have to come out to install the balancer unless you pound it back on which is SOP for most backyard mechanics

Re: Starter Solenoid.
Semantics. Technically, all relays are solenoids and all automotive solenoids are relays. All thumbs are fingers and all fingers aren't thumbs. hmmm, I'll bet you're giving me the finger right now.

Re: Starter Solenoid.
Is this the master relay? From the beginning, I was skeptical about the thing and it's purpose. I have wired a few cars from scratch and 2 using Painless Wiring harnesses. None needed or called for some sort of "master relay" nor has any vehicle that I have ever seen. So, when I rebuilt my...

Re: Building Your Own Car Engine Powered Bike/Trike
Transmissions were always the biggest problem for the DIY builder. Winters will sell you one and I suppose there are more used Nescos out there than there used to be.

Re: Carl La Fong
I'm doing ok. My right arm is still sorta jacked up and the right knee is still wonky. I'm still trying to work past the deficits from the stroke. My doctor told me that I won't get everything back. I have a hell of a time reading a tape measure. 30 years in the trades down the pipe

Re: Just a question ?
Early BHs, known as "clutch bikes" were a manual one speed. A few of us have built tho speed manual shift bikes using Ranger Torque splitter transmissions. I couldn't be happier with nine. I wish fate had dealt me a better hand and I could still ride it, though in the next few months I pla...

Re: Buy my bike!!!!
I am no longer going to pursue the sale of my bike. Too much hassle.It's going into my shop as a display item. I don't really need the money anyway. I always felt it to be the pefect V8 bike. As long as I own it, it will be for sale. With this stroke, I don't need any additional bullshit

The accident and my health have forced th sale of my bike. It does need a bit of work but it was left with very very minor damage, maybe 50 or 100 bucks worth. This is the only bike of it's kind, with an unbreakable driveline and a clutch that operates like any normal bike. Click on the link below t...

Yup, I did. They work fine though I think they would have to be made for each bike specifically because of minor missalignments and different heads. Wouldn't be "one size fits all do

So you come here and badmouth Ricky and his brother. To what end?? Just to piss him off?? What's done is done. BH will never recover to the way it was. The V8 bike thing is waning. It was always a niche market and it will remain so, at an even smaller level. There will never be a nation wide dealers...
