Well so i get it all back together, take it for a drive and it drops a cylinder about 40 miles into the first cruise. pull the plugs, #2 is beat to hell, coolant leaking in, piston is beat to no end and there is a small hole in the head. i found a piece of aluminum laying in the intake that managed to get back up past the valves and jump in there. what it was or where it came from i dont know.
so now its back together again with one new piston, O-ringed and ported head, DSM link, and it runs like a raped ape. now i just hope i can keep it together... theres still some work to be done but it survived 500 miles of driving and about 10 good holeshots from 5500 and shifting at 8





damn crooked cell phone picture.....

 

and i forgot to mention on the old head ALL of the intake valves were bent...[&:]
and the transmission i got from The Engineer is surviving the abuse i have put it through so far

 

Bad *** man : )

Im glad everything worked out.

 

oh man i totally forgot who i sold that too. Glad to hear its treating you good. That thing should be able to withstand alot

Looks like your still up to your old beating the **** out of these DSM's and pushing them too and past the limit

 

Sheps showing us that dsm's don't have limits

 

buddy of mine - scott- works at sheps, i think your right about that, but most of us have a limit to how deep our pockets are [8D]

 

of course, i got heavy foot. 3rd gear synchro is a little questionable but thats easy to change.its only over 7500 it grinds but thats normal for a stock trans

 

looks like mine but put bak together
