Needless to say i wont be dealing with eric again
Just curious which port package you specified; more low, more high, "mo betta"?
EG did the Mo betta on my 500 and there was a great deal of work done. I
wonder if there was some mis-communication or something. I would definitely
call and talk to him about this.
I have never split cases before, but when you do that, do you just line up the gear configuration with the bearings and all that stuff and put it together?
I have a slightly different approach. Like Marco said, you want to put everything in the left
side case. I place the case on my homemade engine stand (see picture) and put the main
and countershaft clusters in meshed together. Then install the shift forks, shift drum and
shift fork shafts in that order. Then I install the right side case. This is a test fit to check
that the tranny spins freely and is done before the crankshaft goes in.
Once I make sure the gear clusters are assembled correctly (the reason for the test fit), I take
it all apart and do it again, only this time I start with the crankshaft which I install with an
installation tool that draws it into the crank bearing.
Just another technique to assemble a bottom end.

I checked the topend port box on the form, and got charged for that service, even is printed "porting work" on my recipe. being a topend job i should be seeing some significant duration changes, how ever this is a stock port config.
Im not trying to bad talk Eric Gorr or anything, but i feel like i got shafted. Im busy with work this week but when i get time ill see what he has to say
