    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.

On the lift...

Oh yea, that block is a rare one. Wiesco does not make it anymore and it is the good old aluminum cast. I will have to get new sleaves for it due to the rust was so bad it etched the walls. So I will have to get new pistons,any size that I want.
 
Kris, are the sleeves at max bore already? Can they go bigger without a resleeve? Keep in mind that I can get you CPs in 1/2 mm increments if the block can take a good honing. This is how I get 1 more build out of 1428 blocks as I can get 83.5s done. Let me know if I can help. Ray.
 
Ray, I am not going to go bigger than 1428. I might even downsize to 1327. It will be a self starter since I race by myself all the time. So 11:1 comp is what I am aiming at.
 
Kris, you can hone the 1428 sleeves to 83.5 if you want to save the cost of a resleeve right now. At 11 to 1 does this mean the hair dryer isn't on this one? Also, you can go 17 to 1 if you want with one of Paul Cashio's starters. I run without a crew too & swear by them! Again, let me know if I can help, Ray.

I order one of Paul Cashio's starters yesterday to use on my new 1570 13:1 street/strip engine, after read about them in dragbike.com. Seems to solve a lot of problems.

Got the fork brace done...I think these are GS 550 or 750 forks,they are pretty skinny. I took the stock fork brace from the GS 1100e and trimmed it down to look a little more streamline. Before

The rust is way in there I have to replace them. No turbo for this one just normally aspirated:eek: I might hit you up for one of those starters later on. I am doing the frame first or until I run out of money. The engine will be last.
 
I see. Let me know if I can help. If you ever need another big block I have 1290, 1327, 1400, 1428, 1500 & 1570s. Ray.
 
Got the foot pegs and the rear brake mocked up and ready for welding
