Just bought another junker

You will want the 223 (0.340 lift cams), nice sound and very streetable(what I have). You could even go to the 0.348's for the street and much more power up top.

The 212 is 0.370(Edited) lift, much more for a race machine.....
The 167 is basically a stock 1150 grind (0.310)


go here and select your vehicle, the various grinds will come up.

If those two sets of cams are new, they are worth close to $300 per pair.....

That welded basket you can figure $200-$300 depending on how bad it is grooved.

I figured that the last two were probably Web Cams but was not sure about the 167 grind. Thanks!
I will probably just throw the 167 cams into one of my stock 1100's then.

the 212 webs are .370 lift and are quite fun with a few other things done
great looking basket but check if you have 10 fibers and 9 steels(not counting the steel on the inner hub)
if so those are 83 only and really f up your basket because of the steel backing instead of aluminum.
i see a full set barnett gold springs also...lose 3 and add 3 stockers.

[GSX1000E]

Blowerbike, yes, the other things have already been done to the head that I will be using and then some.
So, I need to see if I have enough good used stock fibers from my other two engines to use instead, right?

Cylinder ready for paint.

[blowerbike]

yeah any fiber but 83 will do if they are still pliable/not chard-hard ect..
80-82 1100
84-86 1150
1000/1100 shafties..yes same clutch side as a 1100 16v.

[GSX1000E]

I ordered the 1150 clutch fibers from maccycles.com as they are aluminum with premium friction material.
I also ordered the 80mm bore base gasket and 77mm bore cylinder head gasket from Cometic.
This evening, I started on the tedious task of resurfacing these rough rotors that I will be using.



This rear one, has deep grooves and will probably end up under size by the time that I am done.

Before.


Not quite finished yet.

[GSX1000E]

After soaking the calipers over night in lacquer thinner, I scrubbed them with a parts washing brush today and redunked them. They are still holding on to some of the factory paint under the PO's paint.
Worked on the rear rotor some more and it will be just a hair under the 6mm turn to limit. It should be fine as little as I use the brakes on my bikes.

How are you resurfacing the rotors?

1150 cylinder was on the bike?

[Arronduke]

Chef... that was going to be my next question... I even went back to the start just in case I did not notice the EFE motor installed.

[GSX1000E]

As inferred earlier with the 77mm bore, I am using a different set of cylinders and cylinder head.

Today, I pulled the pistons out of the lacquer thinner and drove the 130+ miles round trip to a friend's mini-machine shop so that he can
mill most of the piston crown off of the 13:1 MTC pistons that I have for the bore and get them closer to 11:1.





He is also busy making me some custom steel clutch hub spacers to replace the weak/often worn sideways stock aluminum ones as seen here.
(I already have the 40mm grade 12.9 bolts to replace the weak/often bent 35mm factory clutch spring bolts.)



While at his shop, I helped myself to surfacing the cylinders.
I still need to finish hone the sleeves and paint/bake the cylinder with a second coat.



Back at home, I worked some more on surfacing those nasty rotors.
I just got an E-mail today that the fork seals and dust seals will not arrive until Thursday of next week.
Along with the new rubber grommets to secure the side covers. At least I already have the seals to rebuild the calipers.
I shall be working on the finishing touches to the rims and getting the tires mounted later this week.

I am hoping that this does not become some long drawn out 2-3 year thread like so many others.
I will be putting a fire under my butt to keep moving in the right direction to accomplish that goal.

[GSX1000E]

I pulled the calipers out of the lacquer thinner and then dunked each one in the carb dip for an hour and then finished up with some carb cleaner.
No super duper paint booth here so I just shot them outside.



Finished surfacing the rotors and dunked them into the lacquer thinner to try and remove any paint.
Sanded lightly, drowned in lacquer thinner,cleaned and painted the clutch cover and C/S sprocket cover.
After baking the calipers, I will assemble them with all new parts tomorrow. Perhaps even start on the forks.

[GSX1000E]

I pulled the forks apart after draining what looked like a combination of old gear oil, fork oil and water out of them.
They are currently soaking in the parts washer.

I rebuilt the rusted brake bleeders from the calipers.


The caliper pistons cleaned up really well except for the rust inside the pistons. They are currently filled with vinigar and soaking overnight. We'll see if that helps.


I then started on rebuilding the anti-dive units that I am hoping to use.

[blowerbike]

a set of APE studs and head nuts would compliment that nasty motor your building

[GSX1000E]

PM sent.

I also got the first coat of paint on one side all of the rotors today. Except for a few suicidal bugs, they might end up looking O.K.
