I have an old DG gold liquid cooled head from back in the day, doubt I will use it now that better ones are out there. I pulled the
motor ((
Internal Combustion Engine ? )) (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) for a rebuild and was playing with a CR450r cylinder back then, never finished as life got in the way. Did I say life? Meant wife!! Lol. We started our family last time I drove it, and now he is turning 18... Time flies.[/quote]
Holy crap batman,that things been sitting in the corner for 18 years and not started?
You must have had other toys to ride because if I was your son and that thing was just sitting in the garage I would be pestering you everyday to get it running so I could ride it

motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) was pulled, dismantled, and I bought everything to rebuild it except the piston 18years ago. My first ride i snapped an aftermarket u-joint, seem to remember that was $1200 for two new axles in Canada back then. 2nd ride I broke my secondary... Had to have comet build me one back then, $600!! On eBay now for $219 everyday. 3rd ride I had carb problems and while waiting for a new carb I decided to pull the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )). Found my skirts badly cracked, on stock bore(recall bore size). So I started asking shops here to bore/hone it and no one would touch it because it was an Oddy motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) and was just gonna seize no matter what they did. World was different then, but without today's Internet, life was a lot more isolated up here. Shipping a motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) to California was financially impossible and the risk of it getting "lost" in shipping I couldn't bear. So I parked it.... It was killing me financially at the time and a new baby sealed the deal. But I loved it enough to keep it, and my son's first and last quad was a KFX50(LT50 Suzuki), I remember the day I got the $400 tuned pipe for it... Was about 5mph stock but the over rev with that pipe was crazy and got that little single speed up to 15-20mph!! I was proud as hell but as soon as the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) would get on the pipe my son would lift off the throttle, every time, pissed me right off and he never has had any interest in anything cool(like all his friends today). My Oddy left a bad taste in my mouth back then, so I jumped on the four stroke bandwagon and my wife and I both ride KFX700's, mine has dual exhaust, only way I can tell them apart. So either I have given it enough time to forget the troubles I had with my Oddy, or the world being what it is now, I feel confident the resources are available(Internet/Pilotodyssey.com etc) to revive an old love. I no longer feel isolated...lol.
