Featured Daytona 500

Progress is slow as finding the last few parts has been a challenge as was getting the engineering work done, should have barrels crank and head back next week hopefully. Pics of head prior to having new inserts fitted for exhaust stubs and welding up a crack.

 

At last i have the barrels head and crank back from Patric at Seager Eng after he did a fantastic job on repairing the head, boring the barrels and grinding the crank for me, now i just have to clean it all and the assembly can start

 

New rods and -10 shells with new ball and roller crank bearing fitted

 

And to finish off the day slap it all together as you do.

 

I use Wellseal as used by Triumph brush it on both cases and let it flash off, bolt them together until i hear/see it squish out and wipe off with tissue straight away.

 

Cheers Duck, as if i don't have enough attention problems the very idea i could be a motorbike God is frightning at my age lol

 

Nice slow start to the day and fitted the cams and timed them along with PRV and new oil pump after thoroughly cleaning it out. New inlet cam fitted as old one was worn.

 

Fitted the NOS + 20 pistons and gapped the Goetze + 20 rings and bottom end done waiting for the newly rebored to + 20 barrels

 

I use all different specs/size dependant on year size etc and even what make of pistons, sorry i can't be more helpful. I didn't check with Patric At Seagers that did thease for me as we used NOS pistons so assumed he has used factory 0085 top and 003 bottom of skirt as its a later engine with +20's.

 

Very nice, i know nothing about 2 strokes as nice as they are to ride, surely the jap forums must have an answer for you ??

 

It's complicated as different piston manufactures give vastly different sizes that's why i like to find NOS Triumph pistons as i know they don't expand like the newer pistons that some spec at 0065 I hope you get it sorted

 

Barrels fitted and worked out the crush measurements for the pushrod tubes so i can refit the head.
