May 3, 201511 yr scot Lary just just as i thought the Rear Engine mount should be tight once the Axle as been torqued down. Edited May 3, 201511 yr by bondy
May 3, 201511 yr Bondy, you got it, just make sure the swing arm moves without moving the motor mount. When you get it assembled a shot of grease on each side & no more tearing it down ever. Don't forget to grease the bolt. Larry
May 3, 201511 yr the S/Arm has grease nipples i use bearing grease that has a good wash out resistance. also i will have a bunch off parts zinc plated and titanium Engine bolts.
May 4, 201511 yr Bondy, don`t forget that the grease nipples only grease in between the inner and outer bushes. It does not lubricate the swingarm axle at all. So that means unless you pull the axle out and grease it it will get stuck onto the steel inner bush. Graham.
May 4, 201511 yr Bondy, Please take Grahams' advice, GREASE THE AXEL. Zinc plating won't stop rust very long if at all!! This from personal M92 original (my) assembly many years ago. Tear down recent. (reweld kick stand). Had a m199 several years ago w/ original chrome plated aluminum bearings that required lots of heat & beat to get it out.

May 4, 201511 yr i always load plenty grease on all moving parts goes with out saying. i may also have 1 made from titanium not cheap tho we will see i ham having titanium Engine bolts alot cheaper will keep you posted.
May 4, 201511 yr The rat is getting a new pair of shoes today. Irc tr011 Just like Larry said. "They feel a lot like bubble gum but they smell better"
May 5, 201511 yr Hello Scot more photos for you and Larry i had some thick washers made for the cylinder head.
May 5, 201511 yr Please help me out, I have never seen any B models period. It would appear in the photo on pg 3 of this thread (re 85.5 piston) that the 199 B maybe doesn't use a head gasket as I am used to seeing?? Forget about us seeing 198B, as I personally do not remember seeing any 250 after the M 92 in this area; bigger has got to be better mentality? Thanks Larry
May 5, 201511 yr No head gasket, there is a spigot atop the cylinder liner with concentric grooves to help seal
May 5, 201511 yr Hi Larry yes Mr smelling is correct altho all my other bikes have copper Gaskets witch are no longer for sale i can get them made from copper but i would Expect them to be alot to make you can reuse the copper head Gaskets many times.
May 6, 201511 yr My 151 engine in my Sherpa also has no head gasket. I`m still trying to find the original 199B engine for my bike. Graham.
