    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.

I won a big block after market cylinder block off EBay. Only needed to be honed, haha. It showed up with one sleeve totally junk one more very questionable. Needs two sleeves or bore. Guy gave me a partial refund. My question is the block has only one id mark. It has an S on the center of the block. Any info would be great? Thank you
 
I have no idea, but I believe you will have better luck getting a response to this question if you could include some pics to help the guys visually ID the block in question...just saying.
 
The S was for Suzuki. Probably used by the foundry so they knew which mold to use. In the day most all of the blocks were cast at the same place and rough machined at Sertco in Oklahoma. They would just add different brand tags when they were cast. Some were cast without a tag and were no name blocks.
 
Teamdar, thanks for the reply. It came with JE pistons, from what I could find on the JE website the pistions are before 2004. Both the block and pistions are older.
 
a person may be shocked at what they have it it when it's ready to bolt on..
what CC ect..
will the pistons still fit the holes and have the correct clearance?
 
Bore size: 83.00 piston 82.7-82.6 at center of skirt. Pistons are marked JE 83mc4. Looking at the pistions they did not make the damage, looks it good usable condition. Not sure if these are corrct for this block?

you need to drive or ship these parts to a reputable motorcycle machine shop.
they can then measure everything and tell you what is what and what you need.
you have a 1425cc kit.
 
This was my first yr. Drag racing a motorcycle. I am truly hooked. Been buying and collecting parts all season. Been reading a ton of posts. Now I have enough parts to build two motors. I race more cars then bikes and I'm not a fan of Box racing, so I want to stay above 9 seconds. I have two 1100 motors. 1. 1170 kit 2. 1428 kit. I have welded crank with straight cut gear. Back cut trans. 38 lectrons. Lock up clutch. Have two heads. 750 dot head stock. Or 1988 gsxr 1100 ported 31mm in 26mm ex. Race head ready to go. Webcams 425 lift drag race cam. Choices, haha
 
Send it to us and we can check it out and make it good as new if that is what you want.

It might even be one of ours. We did hundreds of those.
