Before I spent more money on new carbs and other bolt ons, I would get a new set of cylinders. You are probably looking at about $400-600 for a used set of ported cylinders. Thats a lot cheaper than frying your top end and crank from an airleak or a cylinder cracking. Thats just my two cents.

Normaly I would agree,but the guy that inspected them with me is well known in my area for building very strong motors. He has done all my machine work since i started riding anything"about 20 years" he does porting and all machine work in house and I take his opinion very strongly and trust him when he says this will work or this wont work i trust him.We both inspected the spot and the rest of the cylinders very closely and decided they were done correctly excecpt they should have been welded instead of epoxyed but he and i beleavied by looking at the job that they would hold up and cause no threat to the engine.If we thought they would have caused a problem we never would have went to the trouble of boring them or anything else.I guess what im saying is I didnt go into this toatly blind.
