Question for the experts. I am thinking about ceramic coating my pistons, am i correct in saying that i would only be able to coat the crown of the piston as they are already matched to the bore?

Thanks guys...

Mick

yes - unless you coat them and then hone the bores afterwards?

Hey Eric, have you checked your tank clearance over those cam tower hold down bolt thingies? They're massive!

Hi Terry or should that be G'day

Hmm, they sure do look a bit tall don't they. However, I took the view that's its a great deal easier to cut things down to size rather than trying to add a bit on. Fear not, the cover will be going under the milling machine before too long and those bolts will get the chop as well. I'm just waiting for Mike to send me a cam so that I can get the engine finished.

Cheers
Eric

No worries Eric, I just would have hated for you to install your tank for your first big ride and then realise that it's (possibly) not going to go on. I'm running a Megacycle 125/75 cam in my 836cc engine with one of Mike's heads and it's brilliant above 6000 RPM thru to redline, but has virtually no bottom end or mid-range punch, so I'll be installing a milder "torquier" cam next winter, as 6000 RPM is around the upper limits of my normal street riding. Cheers, Terry.

I have 1 block available. It is finished for 71.25mm JE pistons. Ready to bolt up.

Hey Mike, is that cylinder nikasil coated or iron bore ?

If thats your one Mike, how come you are selling it..?

Mick

BLUE71TURBO · « **Reply #484 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:15:56 PM »

It kinda sucks that the bore is 71.5mm instead of 71mm. The cylinder would go good with mikes 71mm A.P.E.'S pistons he has for sale.
If only the pistons were flat top turbo pistons !

OOPS !! My mistake !! Hey Mike, I saw another add of yours for a billet cylinder and 71mm pistons. Is this the same set ? Also you
said the pistons are flat tops. What compression ratio are they ?

I wonder why my piston coater didn't tell me he had to go to all that trouble to stop my pistons sticking to the bore

I have the same question Sam. I would like to hear one roar down the road.

I am doing well Sam. I hope the same is true for you. Haven't posted much - but have been lurking on the forum. Now that my Hot Rod is finished I am on to other non-motorcycle related projects.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #497 on:** January 11, 2011, 09:23:22 PM »

Someone tell that man about the Relay Rally Across America, Canada and Beyond!! Hot Rods are especially welcome to join in the fun.

Hi Art. Good to see you again.

When you said block I thought ya meant the bottom end not barrels think this guy could machine the bottom end cases without the tranny to build a Kind of inline indian four style cafe racer ....not that I could afford it....but a cool project...kind of along these lines...D

Tintop · « **Reply #499 on:** March 28, 2011, 02:36:02 PM »

So I figured this was the place to post the news, that a JMR billet barrel now resides in Canada.
