I went back a few pages where you sat your NOS head on the new block and the fit looks better than the original.

Mike would you mind giving us another shot down the hole of the plating?

Sure Brent.

Mike
I thankyou sir.
This arrived at the Post office this morning and is nothing short of perfect.
72mm MTC pistons and Billet Block finished to utmost precision.

Man, if only I could afford this treasure!

Thanks Andy and Sam.
I'm just over the bloody moon with this.
It will take some time to get this project all together.
APE is doing some work on the crank and tranny and supplying new rods and Mike is working on the head.
This is a grass roots up build with no shortcuts.
There's nothing like being a kid at Xmas again and that's how it is right now.

Hey Rob
Someway, somehow it can happen.
I really didn't think that it would all come to fruition but my heart and my guts said to just do it.
I will never look back on this decision.

Hey Mick,

That is the spirit, stick to your decision and don't look back.

It will be Mick. I have to oring the cylinders which, if never done it, sucks in general.

You bead blasted them, as opposed to a machined finish??

I believe that they were blasted by Millenium after they were bored.
Mike could confirm this.

It sure looks like he did. I'd prefer the fresh machined look myself. I like shiny.

Mines getting ceramic coated so no problems here....

Me too BUT It is impossible to maintain the machined, shiny finish. Even if Millennium does not blast it they etch the cylinder to promote adhesion. The cylinder comes out looking milky white. They have to be bead blasted to look decent.

Who got number 6 Mike, or is it a secret

Better yet Michael, how's your 1000 coming along??

Thats why when I am able to get mine I'm gonna use sleeves so the cylinder block will retain the nice shiny milled billet look.

Flat or shiny, I was there yesterday in Mike's secret underground laboratory and I am here to say, these things are not just billet engine blocks, as they qualify for motorcycle art.

Ecosse · « **Reply #448 on:** May 17, 2010, 01:30:35 PM »

it's settled then! to do mike's work justice a whole engine assembly is a must.

besides, a modern gearbox with six speeds and more strength is only right.

Sounds like you can still polish up the fins after the etch process..
