[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 54368, member: 597"] There is a lot more bits finished for it now....the exhaust system is nearly done, and the pipes look slightly unconventional with the rear one following the front of the engine, and the front one swings to the right and around the timing cover, then downward and under to a 2 into 1 collector. This then straight into a hand fabricated muffler which comes out at the left near where the original left side footrest plate goes, and angled slightly upward. It is held on to stubs held into each port by shortened finned coarse thread Norton type bronze nuts, with ringplates behind to anchor the springs to. The seat is painted, tank is near done, just needs more clear coat to finish, the oval number plates look great painted letterbox red with a off white rim around the outside. Sorry Bill, the pistons had pockets on both inlet/ exhaust sides, but we have machined them all off, I still need to check for clearance at TDC and either side of, but I think it should be ok. That's for the info Norman, it is interesting that the valve angles made no significant change. Perhaps with the low engine revs, that it is not a big issue.....I pick the bike back up tomorrow, and will strip the top end again, so as to set up the heads, barrels, valve timing, etc, which hopefully should go to plan, then I will begin the final assembly, which will come together very quickly.....I have just over a month till our next race meet.....I'm back in the shed.....Greg.
