    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My engine is gonna be purty with that PJ1 glossy black. :p
Shoot Kris I'm your biggest fan second only to your better half.
 
So what's going on with this engine Bill? Cylinder getting bored out? What about the head? Is that old head salvageable? New head? Big valves? Dude, we need an update!!! It's kind of slow around here lately.:p
 
I know. This thread has turned in who's the ugliest of them all. :rolleyes:
The old head was hammered. I got another head from Jim. This head will have the 1.5mm oversized intake valves and a good street port. The exhaust valves will stay stock.
I have an 1150 cylinder that got bored out to 77mm and this will increase CCs to 1229.
I had to get an 1150 crank because the 1230 kits were mostly made for the 1150s since that is the max bore for the stock sleeve and the 1150s came with 20mm wrist pins compared to 18mm for the 1100s.
I purchased a 1229 kit from Wiseco. I first got one from MTC but it turns out they discontinued this kit. Pretty much the same piston.
Kris V has an 1150 V&H superhub so that takes care of that problem. The 1100s and 1150s had different gears on the hubs. The inner hub, fibers and plates are all interchangable.
I'll start off with the 1150 36mm CV carbs. My starting jetting will be
155 mains jets
50 pilot jets
DJ needle on the second from bottom
Idle screws out three turns out.
I will fine tune from there.
I have a good set of WebCam .340s and I'll degree them 107/109.
I have APE studs, Cam chain tensioner, cam chain guides and Tsubaki HD cam chain.
Hope this keeps things interesting. ;)

I'm still trying to talk him into a 18" GSXR 750 4x18" rear wheel (140/70-18 Avon tire) and GS1100E aluminum swinger (with a couple inches added) :p

You are? :confused:
I guess I could use a couple of more inches. :-#
 
Hey Bill, remember that 1229 kit I offered you for an 1100 crank? I was wrong, it turned out to be a 1260! Ray.

Did that bust Dr. Gonzos bank?
C'mon guy. You showed off some pretty nifty calipers. :p
 
No, he got a good deal. Less than new pistons for all of it with new rings incuded & end gapped ready to assemble! Ray.
 
I told him & he is happy about getting more than he thought. I was afraid he might not want to bore his upper case half but he was good with it since he has to have it apart to do the crank anyway. Believe me, I got nervous before I called him because it's already paid for! Ray.
 
Went up to Kris V's house and did a jaunt on his ZX14. What a machine. I had it up to 130 and it felt stable as hell and I felt like I could of gone 200.
Took some pics of his turbo bike engine cases. He had to split them to have the crank redone. Too much play in the rods. Stan the Man is on the job. Notice the APE HD case studs and the dish turbo pistons.
Another picture to see is my old cam chain compared to a used HD cam chain. Do you think this could cause timing issues? :eek:
Also look at the wear on a cam chain guide new compared to a three or four seasons worth.
Also some pics of my APE studs, cam chain and guide.

very cool. to the guys who do their own motor work, awesome:cool: hope to reach that level of maintenance some day, but today I don't think I could replace the cam chain guide with my bike in my fraternity house.
 
Here are some pics of the work so far.
Putting the bottom end together next Monday.

I'm curious as to how well that paint holds up, it looks good.

So i see a transtar target in the garage, and it looks like there MAY be a Coast Guard base decal on the Ford. Coastie truck by chance?
