depressing day

[AKheathen]

I'm just getting around to talking about it, but i installed my ptr head last week, and really didn't like what i saw. the head went on fine, but i found out why my carbs were adjusted off from one another to sync. looks like the right cylinder ate an electrode or something, and was kind of rebuilt. .5mm over with no chamfer on both, and a couple nicks, not too bad on the exhaust port. dome a little rough. wear shows the lack of chamfer making the rings dig in. the thing that made me cringe- 1/4 to half mm rock @ tdc both sides. been running hard that way since i got it.

 

 

so here's the plan- next usable size up, namura pistons (i know, alot prefer wiesco's, but I'm just a huge fan of coated pistons) and a d.i.y port job. maybe someone might volunteer to help with some duration/angles. not too wild, but i want to focus on mid-low to complement my procircuts, and reeds, but still be able to bolt on some top end reeds and old gold series pipes for that shoulder-dislocating-punch for riding on the beach and such. or, should i gust tick to the mid port?

 

thanks, heath h.
