Ok Coop here's a special update just for you! Got the cylinder and head back from Eric. He did a good job. I still need to set ring end gap for the Wiseco, and the bottom end is getting there slowly, but I thought I'd show off some of his work. I just painted the cylinder in Semi-Gloss. Turned out alright, but still have to redo the finish on the head. I have never had anything anodized though, and am worried about polishing it and who to send it to. I want it to look right, though. Suggestions?
I found this magazine cover the other day... Premature Burial?
Here's some shots of the painted, ported, bored, and honed cylinder.
The chamber was polished up a ton from before, with only slight pitting remaining. It looked pretty bad before this.
Eric had specs on hand for this bike. From the looks of it he didn't touch the transfers if any, but the exhaust port has been heavily modified in both height and width. The intake and exhaust runners have also been honed and the ports are much smoother at the bridges. Good work, excellent price.
