Looks great!

I picked up my engine pieces from the coater last week. Fantastic! We discussed coating the cylinders and head. Definitely no on Mike's expensive head. Then we turned to the cylinders. Not as expensive BUT after discussing the "at home" BBQ grill method of removing the liners and the need to bake the cylinders at 380 degrees to sweat out oils, etc then bake the coat at 380 degrees we decided not to coat the cylinders. My guy is good but.... we left nothing to chance.

Just something I thought I'd throw in. If you do it and all is well I'll be pissed I didn't go ahead

Do you hear the swooshing sound? That's the sound of power going out the window!

Hope you rethink that move....

Not coating the head shouldn't affect HP.

...guess I missed that part.

Just hate to see guys put money and effort into a motor, and not touch the head......you leave ALOT of power on the table when you do that.

Yup. Headfirst in my book.

Yep, I have THE head and it will be put to good use. Just won't be powder coated.

Michrobi,

There just isn't enough time when we get this close

I was all ready to prep clean the engine parts, inventory my seals and gaskets, mic the bearings, install the lower studs after chasing the holes and GET AT IT until the phone rang and one of the agencies I signed on with asked me to work 8 more days this month. Money talks. Spare time is scarce once again. I'll be watching you.

What, you checkin' out my 34mm intake valves?

AHhahahaha!

Bam!

Pow!

MCRider · « **Reply #80 on:** July 14, 2010, 05:01:00 PM »

Purdy!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #81 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:45:09 PM »

And those narrow light weight titanium retainers and those narrow light weight stronger valve springs! Hell yeah!

michrobi · « **Reply #82 on:** July 15, 2010, 04:57:48 PM »

Jesus man, the difference between a stage 3 port and the Cobra head's port is extreme!

Here is the Cobra 1000cc intake throat

And here is the Rattlesnake 890cc intake throat.

These photos are really poor and the difference is still so obvious. I wish you guys could stop by and put your eyeballs on it, it's like night and day. I need to avoid elevators for 11 days so I don't get any sexual harassment suits.

Here is the Cobra crank next to the Rattlesnake crank. Of course the Goldenrods are gone. They're somewhere in Germany hopefully being put to good use. Much more machining and at a much greater depth on the Rattlesnake's crank. No fluting, but the benefits of a flute on the mains is arguable.

Hmmm... your 890, my 836...

I wonder if Seattle's big enough for the both of us?

DAMN!!! That thing is going to be a beast.

Mike sure doesn't like to leave much aluminum

That's why I have to epoxy the spigots Jerry.

Dose it hurt having epoxy in your spigots

Only if it's done incorrectly Sam.

Jeff and Rainier has the cases. Man, I actually talked to that guy back in March when I was shopping for media blasters to clean the cases and the block. He insisted on using steel media to blast them so I took them somewhere else. I didn't get a good vibe then, but when I talked to him yesterday about the coating he seemed confident and on the same page.

If he eff's them up I'm coming down to Tacoma to cry about it.

tweakin · « **Reply #92 on:** July 21, 2010, 04:39:31 PM »

i am anxious to see how the cases turn out. I was a little scetched on having the cases done, but someone has to be the guinie pig, lol.

I am sure Jeff will do an excellent job on the cases.

They don't have to be immaculate. I just sprayed Sam's cases....the biggest pieces of S I've seen. Nothing easy sometimes.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #94 on:** July 21, 2010, 10:18:01 PM »

The guy that did mine had them blasted with a plastic media. Said it wouldn't affect the surface appearance.

Mich, just how much weight was removed from the crank?

Don't be sad Sammy...they are beautiful now. So is the 5mm head I just returned home with. And the Earl's cooler that arrived today etc etc.

That bit of news should turn his sad face around Mike. It even excited me!
