So this winter I plan on doing a complete rebuild of my stock 150cc (short case) engine while I attempt to get my panels a chrome dip and powder coat the frame.
My question is this, what is a "complete" list of needed tools before I take this job on. I hate to be in the middle of a job and then have to run out and buy something.
I plan on leaving it all stock no bbk's or anything. Any jelp is appreciated.

First question is: Just how 'complete' are you thinking. Do you mean tearing everything in the whole engine case down to 'parts bin' status, or simply replacing the top end (piston, rings, jug, head/valve-train)?   |

This is not complete, simply because I'm sure I left something out!
6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13mm sockets and driver
impact wrench or variator holding tool
strap wrench
flat tip and cross tip screwdrivers
rubber mallet (for knocking gasketed parts without damaging)
vice grips
feeler gauges (for valves and spark plug gaps)
spark plug socket
zip ties and electrical tape
some type of lamp small enough to fit in tight places in the engine compartment
ring compression tool (not absolutely necessary, but makes it a lot easier and quicker)

My only question is why? If you are upgrading fine but why not just run it like it is. New top ends on A bike is not preventative maintenance. Spend your money on some nice gear if the bike runs fine leave it alone.

Yeah if it runs fine I would leave it alone no need to replace the top end unless its broke or your upgrading to something bigger

[replyingto=scootnwinn]scootnwinn[/replyingto]Sorry I should have explained. I'm getting major oil into my airbox. I believe one of my piston rings could be to blame. And since ill have it apart why not just go ahead and rebuild the top end. I was considering upgrading. Going to weigh out the cost between tools (if I don't have em), new parts, upgrade kit and anything else that would go along with an upgrade
