Sand in engine, help!
Sandblaster Thats good Mitch erm Rumple

When do you expect to get the blaster back?
 
Yeh love the Sandblaster bit too fellas, when I caught up with Neville he did ask if I was the Sandman, that made me giggle a bit too. Spose you gotta see the funny side of it all. Sorry I haven't replied earlier but I decided to jump on a plane & head off to Hong Kong for 9 days to get away from all the s**t that's going on at home at the moment. Spent all me money so heading home tomorrow (back to the real world so they say) Haven't heard from Nev yet (not that I would cause I don't have a mobile here & haven't worried about the net till now to check in for flights) but fingers crossed should hear good news in about a week.
Later fellow Rocketers.
 

I recon you should change ya login nick mate
Hope all goes well...
 
Gidday to all. Well, first I like to say thanks to Ponters for putting me onto Neville Lush Racing in Victor Harbour.
He really new the stuff when it came to rebuilding my bike with a gut full of sand in it. He would of had it for about 2 months & after numerous calls around the place to some contacts he had for parts & I'm sure much swearing, cursing & skun knuckles on his part, my little treasure # 2 (after the missus) is back on the road but a whole new & much improved bike.
Cut a long story short, along with a new exhaust (same as Ponters) & a heap of after market bits she now pulls 203 hp. Me mucha grande impresse. Thanks again Nev if you read this & I thoroughly recommend Nev for any sort of work required on the mighty Rocket. Will try & upload a video of the exhaust which must weigh 1/3 of the original & sounds the business.
Got the Hagon Nitro's sitting at home waiting to go on when I get back so will look a bit more trick & handle better.
 

Got to agree with you about Nev, I've had a lot of work done with Nev and always found him helpful and accommodating. Just about to get the the latest Rocket tickled with Nev again.

Enjoy the rebuilt ride
 
Did you Pretty much have to replace everything or were you able to turn the crank And putt a new bearings just curious just to know how much sand damage or had you Got it before it had done a lot of damage

No worries Chevy it was a pleasure dealing with you. It was lucky the exh cam locked up in the head stopping large bottom end damage. We did however spend a WHOLE bunch of time stripping cleaning etc etc.( as chvey 400 knows) Also set up the gearbox proper while we were in there. All stock inside apart from pistons, cams and HD clutch pack. Bike runs nice and I wish I was there to see your face when you gave it the berries for the first time ). Cheers Nev BTW thats heavy duty not Hardley Davidson
 
Phew!!! Thank Heavens for That
