RZ cylinders, how much $ are they worth?

[Ducman]

I found out guy I work with has a set of RZ jugs and the rest of the motor minus pistons sitting in his garage. The jugs are supposed to be stock bore and the motor is in good condition although he said something about the side cover leaking, but it he could just have seen where someone blocked off the oil injection pump lines. When he told me I was like dude, why ya been holdin out on me!!? Anyway, he want's to trade the motor and/or cylinders to a local builder for some go fast goodies for his Z-400 (yeah, I know, its going to take quite a few more $'s to make it less slow) or just sell the parts. I told him I'd see how much the cylinders and motor are worth and ask the builder what all he might trade. I haven't asked the builder yet. If they are cheap enough I might consider buying them myself, maybe a little project for next winter.

 

My questions if I were to use the cylinders:

Will they work with my current 4mm stroker setup with just proper porting? Would I need to run a spacer plate, and/or would my stroker domes and Noss head work. Can just about any builder that ports banshees do the porting?

 

What all else is needed for the power valve setup? What controlls the power valve, CDI? Seems like I remember reading about some sort of other electrical wireing involved, or is it just for the PV's? I could find this info if I searched but I figured I'd ask since I had other ?'s and my connection is as slow as dirt.

 

Thanks in advance.

$200-$350

 

Yes, you can use them with a +4. It takes the usual work to run them. The Noss head and ome will not work. You will most likely have to get the stock head cut.

 

You will need the;

CDI

Regulator

PV controller

PV servo

Wiring harness

Battery or eliminator

Flanges

 

But that sould just about sum it up. I have a set of stock bore jugs sitting here with head and bolts that I got for $200 if that tells you anything.

Thanks for the info Broke, sounds like a fair amount of work involved. I might think about this project if my friend has all the other parts listed, but I dont think he does, or at least he didn't mention them. I think for the $$$ it would cost to round up all those other parts I would be just as happy with something like the Hot MX port for my 4mm on some regular shee cylinders. Actually, I should just work on my suspension and setup and be happy with what I got, but you know, the grass always looks greener on the other side. Tons of power right off the bottom as well as huge top end up would be pretty cool though.

 

 

The Flanges mentioned are for the pipes? They are welded on the the pipes so they fit the exhaust ports?
