    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

If you guys are using stainless screws, make SURE you put Anti-Seize on the threads as stainless galls in aluminum WAY easier than steel! Ray.
 
Personally I would give it 2 or 3 heat cycles, then go out and give it some hard accelleration and engine braking runs to seat the rings. Like Ray said, never lug it. I'm a fan of "drive it like you stole it" to make sure the rings seal really good and as fast as possible. Engine braking using the gears is just as important as accelleration to ensure a good seal. BTW...really nice job you done!

Greg

But drive it like you stole AFTER you have allowed the engine to get up to operating temp
 
I have had time to take the bike out a few times and it feels like a rocket!:D:D
I would be riding it more, but its hovering around freezing temp here right now. Only about 20kms.
 
Nice build man she looks nice I only wish they had a piston kit for my bike.

Good job.
