Got my cylinders back from Powerseal. Bored out to 1015cc.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-01\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Got the cylinder head back from Mar Auto. Those guys are the best.
\n– I had bent valves and loose guides
\n– had 3 angle valve job done
\n– they installed all new valves, springs, guides, seals and set my cam-valve lash
\n– done super quick with a great price and good communication<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-02\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Wiseco 1015cc piston kit. 10.25 compression.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-03\"<\/a><\/div>\n

My workshop space in the garage.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-04\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Sliding the cylinders over without a ring compression tool is the fucking worst. It took adam and I a long ass time and a lot of cursing. But we eventually got it.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-05\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Boom.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-09\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Got the head on.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-07\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Web Cam #118 grind.
\nBasically the mellowest cam upgrade I could find. I originally wanted to go with more lift… but this is my trip bike so I went conservative.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-08\"<\/a><\/div>\n

All done for now. Still fine tuning.<\/p>\n

\"z1-finish-10\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There are a couple little air leaks that I’m addressing, and and couple other tuning things.<\/p>\n

Overall the bike fucking rips harder than before. Especially over 5k rpm.
\nI dig it.<\/p>\n
