Wanted / IT175J 1982 5X8 Cylinder Barrel Needed

« on: September 02, 2017, 04:51:11 pm »

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a IT175J 182 5X8 cylinder / barrel.

The current one I have has only 2 oversizes left and the exhaust manifold is quiet worn and out of round causing the header to always leak. I'm hoping to find one that is 67mm or less, has all the head studs. Hopefully a decent exhaust manifold (There's some on eBay Australia but listing says they have issues with the head studs).

Would anyone have a cylinder/ barrel sitting on their shelf or work bench that you be ok to part with? Or if you know of a friend that might have one?

Thanks !

Jon

Hi Guys,

Thought you might like to check this video out of VERi Castella Vinduro 2016.

Cracking day - thanks to everyone involved that help's put these events together - great fun!
A few mistakes & a little slower in places trying to stay on-line.. made a few errors earlier in the day...

The video was shot in 1080 60fps resolution however I haven't perfected the youTube uploading as yet so the resolution is lower than I'd like - (depending on connection speed)

(I need some tips on how to improve this)

Cheers,

Excellent buying where abouts did you find it? I'm in the process of building an 87 WR250 at the moment which I purchased in pieces.

Curt-is what are you doing mate ? The bike is mint ! Shame to see her leave the stable. Is this to make way for an RM?

Also massive thanks to Canam370 (Paul) for coming to collect me, getting into his heated ute was very welcomed even if I was a certain shade of orange being covered head to toe in orange clay after attempting a tow up a greasy hill

Here is a pic from the Special Test Track on Saturday.

Thanks for the pic mboddy - trying to get some air time on the IT175J ! Very much appreciate you sharing the pic!

Such an enjoyable event even if I did spend some quality time side of track pondering my failed head gasket & attempting a rebuild in the rain

Thanks to everyone at VERi who put on such a great, well organised event look forward to seeing all your smiling faces at the next event (probably Harrow for me)

 - Cheers Jon.
