XS650 Engine Building Services by Pandemonium

 

Thank you for your interest in our Newly acquired engine building services that we have recently taken over for Hugh’s Handbuilt. As you may have seen Hugh has passed on the engine building services to Pandemonium as we have been taught by him the proper techniques. With that being said let’s get down to business.

​

The engine building services that Pandemonium is offering will be broken down like this.

Our process will be as follows. We will tentatively be building 1 engine per month so we will be taking orders for each month. When we tell you what month your engine will be built in. Payment for the labor on the engine will be required in full before the 1st of the month that your engine was scheduled for. For example, if we schedule you for August we would require full payment of the total labor before August 1st. If payment is not made your engine will be put aside.

​

We require a $250 Earnest Money to put your engine in the build list. Payment MUST be made before your engine will be added to the list.

 

1.       I will not start an engine build without a parts deposit and labor paid in full – The remaining balance can be paid upon pickup or shipping of the engine.

 

2.       Do Not Rush Me – I enjoy building these engines, but if you think a hefty sum of cash or a checkbook is gonna put me in a hurry, forget about it.  It takes time to do the job properly, and I will not sacrifice quality work so you can meet a deadline.

 

3.       DO NOT try to impose a deadline – I’m not on The Discovery Channel.

 

4.       No, I will not tune your carbs for you.  I cannot tune for your riding style, environment, altitude, etc...

 

5.       Yes, I will communicate with your during the build process to keep you informed of progress and/or parts needs.  Any good vendor should be able to do this, but sadly most do not.

 

 

So, if I haven’t turned you away from wanting a Pandemonium engine by now, then we should probably start talking about the basics.  

 

***  Labor – I charge a modest $1500 in labor to build your engine.  What does this include?  I fully clean and disassemble all parts.  I inspect all parts for wear and make sure all tolerances are up to par, or replace the parts as needed.  I then chase ALL threads, repair poorly threaded holes, and reassemble slowly using proper torque specs and parts.  I use all new hardware if possible.  I will also degree in the camshaft to the crank for a perfectly timed engine.  I do not charge extra to install a big bore kit, although having your cylinders bored for oversize pistons is NOT included in my labor.  I do not charge extra to install ANY aftermarket parts (i.e. Rods, 5th gear Over Drive, Clutches, Big Bore kits, valves, etc.…)

​

***  Re-Phasing – The Crank and Cam Shaft will be from Hugh’s Handbuilt at his current pricing.  I will only use a Hugh’s Handbuilt Crank and Camshaft.  Any other outsourced re-phased parts will incur an extra charge.  Educate yourself about the process here, –  why to build a proper crank, –  and the benefits of doing so here……

​

***  Head Porting – I will do a mild port job on your head for an extra $300

​

***  NEW Parts – I will use all new gaskets, seals, O-rings, copper washer, stainless hardware, cam-chain, cam chain guides, sump filter, oil filter, rocker arm plugs, 1 piece clutch rod, upgraded clutch throw-out bearing, clutch springs, and clutch disks.  The market is a little bit variable lately, I have included a list to get an idea of the basic cost of parts I will be installing.

​

***  REUSED Internal Parts:  I typically prefer to reuse stock bearings inside the engine if they are all in undamaged shape.  The aftermarket replacement bearings are nowhere near the quality of the originals.  I will reuse the rods inside your engine if they are still in spec, although you are welcome to purchase new rods if you like.  The oil pump will be checked for spec, and 99% of the time they are in good shape.  Of course, there is no indication of an engines life until it has been torn down.

 

***  External Parts:  What carbs, pipes, controls, etc... you prefer are up to you.  I’ll be glad to work around your preferences.  

 

***  Shipping:   Shipping is up to the customer and will be an additional charge

So basically, here is how this works…   You send us your bottom end as a core.  You will remove the entire top end, pistons, cylinders, head studs, etc...  Keep your engine side covers, cam chain tensioner and tension arm, charging system, chain sprocket and nut.  We prefer you ship the bottom end to us on an engine stand (TC Bros makes a nice one) and in a well-protected crate/box.  The only thing we ask is that your bottom end is not seized or damaged.

 

We will then ship you our Bottom End as soon as we verify your core as re-buildable.   And all you have to do is reinstall your top end and go.  This can easily happen in a weekend for most of you folks.

 

If you prefer to have our bottom end in hand before shipping us your bottom end, we charge a $500 core charge which is refundable after we receive your core.  We are happy to work with you as best we can.
