What kind of prep do you do to your metrakit, I hear that the sleave some times does not like, that the ports need smoothing, that the windows need chamfers. What should one do?

Re: 65 metrakit prep.
Check windows for alignment, chamfer all ports if need be, visually inspect everything, check for ring snag, etc.
Bring the kit monday, ill bring my tools.
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
I will have to drop my engine this weekend. Ill see you there.
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
I had to make a couple extra cylinder spacers on mine to get the ports to line up good
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
drop an E50 = 2 minutes.
Re: 65 metrakit prep.

Re: 65 metrakit prep.

Re: 65 metrakit prep.
drop mobys not bombs
Re: 65 metrakit prep.

Re: 65 metrakit prep.
Joel, Pete, you both remember the kitted black maxi, right? Can we do a 2 for 1 Metra day on monday? I'm wanting to match mine properly to the ZA50, and rebuild the motor another day when i have the time and materials. Also, I think this will get me a little more comfortable with the TCCD because I want to be able to match it to the Pinto's E50 confidently by myself.
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
just make sure your piston goes down into the bore far enuff to cover your rings at bottom dead center because the cylinder wall cools the rings off after getting super heated by the expansion chamber blowing hot gasses back into the cylinder
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
dood wat did you do to that thing
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
sure guys, im down for whatever.
i just ported my E50 for my TCCD, that kit has pretty damn big ports.
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
I just put a Metrakit on an E-50 and was going to chamfer the ports, but they were already done at the factory. I think you'll just want to do the case matching. I'll be there Monday and I can bring my Dremel and bits as well.
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
im bringin all my shiiiiiit
Re: 65 metrakit prep.
I have a Dremel (clone) or two down there also.
