Phelps Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 so you paid for a cleanup job? basically were they just touch some of the rough casting flaws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfastyfz450driver Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I paid to have a new set cylinders to have a full drag port on them. Not a partial one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 how much did you pay? none of my cubs came back with the bridge sharpened ever.. it obviously does nothing on the dyno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfastyfz450driver Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 300 for the drag port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfastyfz450driver Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was anticipating have a surface finish that looks like these cylinders he has ported. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 those are clean up at best. exhaust port isnt wider than cast i'm pretty positive.. but ith out the cyliner in my hand hard to tell. different "shops" port cubs different ways. i have seen a lot with a really nice engraving on the side have a 5% wider exhaust and what looks like a bit bounced around in the ports and then called a "drag port" when i personally do a cub you can tell there is a lot of work done. i reshape the boost ports, work on the entrance and overall pattern of the transfer tunnel check all ports to see if they are where they need to be and then work on the exhaust and exhaust tunnel a LOT. but thats just me.. cubs are a LOT better as cast wise then the old cheeta castings. sometimes the transfer's openings can be mis matched by as much as 8*.

superfastyfz450driver Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for the honest reply camatv. I measured my old cub cylinders and you can see some work was done to the upper area of the intake in the cylinder area straight ahead and up from the reed valves. And the exhaust port is a little wider. But exhaust height hasmt been played around with any. Maybe his version of drag porting is just polishing up the exhaust ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfastyfz450driver Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Here's some more pics of my cylinders that I am questioning. Ideally I would like to see all the transitions like the one on the right hand side not the two on the left in the photo above Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Run them or put them on a dyno!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEE HP Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Mostly as cast but I see a few things he changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 i dont raise the exhaust on a 421 its already at 198* and for most drag builds bikes thats plenty hi when they first came out i rember a few "drag" cylinders with WAY to big main exhaust port setups them fuckers would fall off the pipe like a fat chick out of a lifted truck.. wasnt pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 you can take a bit to the inside of a cub until you're blue in the face reshaping entry bridges etc, but without a dyno you aint doing shit. worst beating i ever took was from a cylinder that looked like a chainsaw got lose in it. best override tranny i ever ran looked like the guy threw it in a wood chipper. looks isn't everything.

superfastyfz450driver Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Pastry killer yes they are. If you advertise and show that's what the work will look like, then they better damm well look like that when you get them right. It would be like ordering a new car and when it shows up there's a bunch of things that are missing and then the guy says too bad it is what it is Edited March 18, 2015 by superfastyfz450driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 So you're all about the looks? What if they make awesome power? Still pissed because they don't look like your 4-stroke heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
