you 'pounded on' the bearings?

also, how did you even measure a .002 tolerance flaw?

i had to grind out my case quite a bit, not as bad ass the metra tho..

one thing you need to make sure you grind down enough are the edges in the corners of the case back by the crank. (sorry, thats the only way to describe it). you need to watch for the skirt of the piston hitting that.

beside that, the only concern i had was the crank arm rubbing the case, so i ground that down a bit also.

ohh.. and next time, put your crank in the freezer and your bearings in the oven for a couple of minutes, they'll slide right on.

that works too

yeah, on most puchs just a propane torch to the bearing untill it turns straw colored, will do the trick.

blue means ya fucked up

mm.. not sure exact reason for the corners.. but i do know that you shouldn't be excessive in your grinding. you can loose a bit of compression the more you grind out.

what are you putting this kit on? what pipe are you thinking of using?

i'm putting it on a newport, hopefully with a homoet 8p

good luck

aaron, i may sell my 8p (not sure yet i may use it on a 80cc metra), but if your gonna put this on a gilardoni i suggest making a new header for it...only because i think the gilardoni requires a pipe that has a bigger header like the simonini does... so if your gonna do this to an 8p, which is the same as the 6p but made for the angled exhaust port, i would just buy a 6p which is easier to find. and make a new header for that. plus you get a brand new pipe. mine is used and need some cleaning up. or get a simonini also. look in my profile that's the pipe i may sell. the bike currently has a simonini on it and it has huge performance difference over the 8p. also way louder than the 8p.

Yeah matt, what size jets did you order for you're mikuni and where did you pick up that intake? My gila is coming this week and i want to be prepared. Also your bike looks more OG with the hero tank.

how do you like your wheel setup? looks rad, wonder how the weight feels though

Some pics of that intake would be sweet. I'm going to be running basically the same setup on a pinto, but i still need to figure out what forks/rims I'm going to use. I might go with a super tecno over the simo, but still haven't decided. I dunno, I have a lot of decisions to make.

anyone got tips on jetting a dellorto?

im starting with a 19mm at the moment.

I just need to get a range of jets to buy

oops forgot to resize ahaha

metra wide transfers

Gilardoni

parma 75 looks like it needs welding also transfers are very big!
