MADE MY DAY!!! I GET TO SEE IT!!!
LMFAO!! but seriously! you're a legend!

 

[xLOCOx]

ohhh... whats the go with the holes? it doesnt look like shes to healthy.... hmm.... would jb weld be any good or is she knackered?

 

[zwebx]

Holes are for air cooling + alot of casting slag but its not crucial so nothing to worry about

 

[my67xr]

and they'll be a lot bigger by the time i'm finished with them too.
a lot of people forget they are primarily an Air Cooled engine, assisted by oil cooling.

 

[xLOCOx]

LOL i had no idea.. i thought it went through and into the actual ports...
hmmm... i might be able to afford some more hours put into it?? 1 more.. so 5hrs all up

 

[my67xr]

nah, it's so heat from the back of the combustion chamber and from the spark plug can be drawn away from the head
it doesn't take much to open them up to what they should be again.

i fitted a couple of my valves into the guides and they are both good

 

[xLOCOx]

ohhhh ok.... now im startin to get the picture!
thanks heaps!!!

 

[my67xr]

[xLOCOx]

Lol... yeah stu, im pretty keen for this little beast... the ports are looking pretty schmicko now!!
im really looking forward to it!!

 

[my67xr]

I hope you've checked inside your exhaust pipe at the header, to check there's no big daggy welds there to restrict the flow.
And have you match ported / de-dagged your intake manifold ?

Did you get new gaskets for the exhaust and intake ?

 

[xLOCOx]

yeah ive been working on the intake here and there i'll see what can do! and yeah ive got new gaskets and i've gotta have a squiz in the pipe... i'll try do that now!

 

[xLOCOx]

this is the exhaust... looks alright to me....

And the Intake with the rubber boot on it... the intake has been matched as well!

 

[xLOCOx]

yes that is an umbrella..... yes the bike is hiding.... but the family tho!
