id be up for trading stock tank

looking for an oversized tank, specifically an IMS 4.0 gal tank in black/red/white/natural

I will try that this evening an see how it fits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also noticed the center water jackets don't line up that good with the head. Another issue you can see in picture is the longer studs closest to exhaust ports are too long to let the supplied nuts tighten up. These are stock studs to my knowledge. (Trinity heads use stock studs as well I believe) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

UPDATE Received my Noss cool head from F.A.S.T. Washed everything in the sink and started getting ready to assemble. Found out the right side cylinder stud holes are not tapped as far down as the left cylinders holes. That explains the height difference. So I threw the cylinders back on the bike to test fit the head. Snugged down all 8 cylinder nuts evenly with a wrench. Took the Noss head base and tried dropping it down onto the cylinders. Did not fit smoothly. So then I fit the head base over each cylinder by them selves. Each cylinder's studs lined up with holes in the head base and fit nicely. So the cylinders fit the head when they're apart, But when they're both together mounted on the case the head does not want to slide over studs. I loosened all the cylinder base mounting nuts till they were just finger tight and head still doesn't want to fit smoothly. I'm sure a few whacks would get it on but I do not want to do that with this brand new head. Looks like I may be sending cylinders back. Any thing else I should check before I do??

I didn't think it would either since there's still a good amount of thread in the cylinder. I kinda thought that they were crooked and that was why the head fit snug. I'm thinking about ordering a head from F.A.S.T. one of the Noss ones with 22cc domes and a set of .020" base gaskets. What size base gasket do you guys usually start with?

That angle I took of the cylinders installed on the case prolly isn't the best. I was trying to show the difference in height between each cylinders studs. I removed a stud from the right cylinder and could definitely see the threads were not tapped all the way down the hole. Musta been from a different batch of cylinders which makes sense cause I specifically got that cylinder exchanged previously because too much casting flash was left in ports.

My squish was actually .055 on left cylinder and .058 on right cylinder. I measured each cylinder on both sides of piston above wrist pin with solder and through the spark plug hole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was test fitting the trinity head over the cylinders last night and they fit smoothley but the heads or the cylinders are shaped differently. I'll get a few pictures of what I'm talking about. Oh and I'm using a iPhone 6 to take all my pictures haha it works good especially in my sorry garage lighting. I didn't even think about casting sand when I cleaned the cylinders before I installed them. I was worried about metal shavings so I just washed them with hot soapy water in the sink and let air dry. I think if I were to boil some water then let it cool a tad bit and then drop the cylinders in an let them soak it may have loosened up the sand. I have a hot jet parts washer at work I could try too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And if I didn't have enough problems I just noticed all this black sand gritty stuff in the cooling system. It's made its way everywhere. Never noticed it when I drained it initially. I know this bike has been in the sand but I don't recall ever seeing this before. I flushed the radiator out and washed the new cylinders before I went back together. Dono where it's from maybe from the cylinders left over casting material? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took a pick tool and was able to peel up more material around plug. I know I snugged these up but I know I didn't tighten them hard enough to start stripping the hole out. Glad I removed this head... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you that's a route I may go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So pulled the head off. Actually came off pretty easily. I was hoping this would be the case since I did start the motor and ran it through couple heat cycles previously. Anyways here's a pic of the studs. Right side would not thread as far as the left Also found a small thread shaving that looks to have chipped off one of the domes where the plugs thread in when I removed the head. Musta fallen in last night when I installed the plugs luckily I didn't start motor and I pulled the head off... Was a little concerned when I got these new domes also because one of them fit more snug in the head compared to other one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is pretty cool it doesn't appear they have them for sale on there website though? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
