Did you test the head for leaks? Pour some acetone into the intakes and wait a bit. Then see if any seeped past the valves.

Returning Visitors
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.
Well how did this project end up?
I may open up my engine by spring and see what "the p.o. bored the motor out" meant by the guy I got it from. May have a Wiseco 844 kit (it's really fast, kept up quite well with an 1132cc KZ1000 on a Hocking Hills State Forest MC trip a few weeks ago).
I lucked out and contacted MTC Engineering to find that they had ONE KIT LEFT hiding in their warehouse of the old GS750/850 big bore kits, so I have some 850 jugs @ 69mm that need to go to a worthy machine shop to be bored for these 72mm pistons! Had them machine them down so I can run 87 Octane in the summer heat, they said just under 10:1 after shaving .040" off the tops from 10.5:1 previously.
Had you gotten a head gasket from Cometic? I had completely forgotten that I would possibly need a custom head gasket when running 850 cylinders with +3mm oversized pistons. You may have been able to do a stock 850 gasket if it fits the 750 cylinder block fine.
