250 1988 yz250 build

I bought a lot of new parts. new rod, bearings, piston, gaskets, rings, few other small stuff


Don't forget the water pump seals and bearings.

FYI. @ossagp is trying to point out that a phone is no substitute for a paper manual and people tend to try and take a lot of short cuts to get to the end result.
Often enough they end up abandoning their project, calling everyone dicks or assholes. We are here to help and won't abandon you as long as you listen to the meanings behind the words. :thumb:

I wasn't mad about that. But a phone can definitely be a substitute if it's the exact thing as the paper manual. A lot of the stuff I've been getting help with is watching lots of YouTube videos on how other people do it step by step also
 
How do you know anything that I'm doing? How about you stop commenting on my thread from now on since you all you do is talk a lot of crap about what I'm doing. You don't know anything about what I'm doing or what I've done. Just because it's my first rebuild doesn't mean I'm tearing it up. Give me advice, and don't be a dick about it. If you can't do that then don't comment at all.

Chill out jr. You fit a pattern whether you like it or not. Bone up on your reading skills, and you will see that I didn't say a thing about "tearing it up".

LOL, I guess I could go back over all the things that some people would say were questions that you could answer yourself if you actually were reading to more aptly demonstrate the "pattern" (although looking at the pics is fun and semi informative). So if you can't imagine the rest of what that pattern is, I will understand :cry::cry:

Sorry, if you saw 6 blue faces I only meant there to be 2 !!

That's great! You done yet? This is a build thread So let's not get off topic.
 
Doesn't the cylinder have a steel liner in 88?

I was going to say it's a plated one, but Mr. Andy got there first.

Hey Alabama Hot Pocket. Chill kid, Andy as well as Mike, myself, and many others are here to help and guid you. But you have asked some questions that leads us to believe your reading comprehension is limited to pictures. You could be on your own or over on another forum.
Just saying!

And build threads are not thousand question threads.

I don't see why I'm the one who needs to chill when I haven't did anything to any of you and ossagp over here keeps talking over and over. Just because I haven't been on this forum near as long as any of you doesn't mean you gotta defend him. Back on topic, the frame has now been blasted and one of the rear parts on the frame was bent along with the mount for the radiator. I got those both fixed also so the frame is good now! It's getting the welds checked and powder coated after Christmas
