My engine guy does 706 bores but has to take thinner cuts so the liner doesn't flex where it extends below the cylinders. If being done a lot, a guy should prolly make a lower liner support for boring....
confused.have another question for you guys,
found this in the German XS-Laden, XS Performance, on sale now EURO 75.00, is that available in the States or Canada? cannot find it, or sold out!
whats your experience?
thank you guys
... keeps promising me he is going to send good weather my way...
Just a heads up on the 706 bore. Most machine shops will leave out the taper on the bottom of the cylinders because of the fact you are going thin. So you have to use a good ring compressor to install pistons and go slow. This is how you bend rings easy. Done about 15 706 motors with cruzinimage pistons and have been using them for about 20 years. Fast service and great prices. If you go with the 706 it comes with a copper gasket and a good copper sealer is needed. His stock bore drop in pistons work very good if your bore is good and can be checked with a bore gauge. I have used many of his CB750 836 kits too and all are still out there running. Both the XS650 kits and CB750 kits. I contacted them about doing some Triumph kits but no response.
Looks like you are ready to build HAHA Starters on the way.
Just my two cents I like the 447 motors because of the ease of getting parts and all the 256 motors I get they go to some guy out there in Texas who has a barn full of them and keeps promising me he is going to send good weather my way. I am old and my bones hurt NEED WARM WEATHER. LOL
May have to go to Texas to deliver a Sportster Chopper I am finishing up and visit a couple biker friends.
Have a great SUNDAY and KEEP CHOPPIN!!!
Someone had a loose lash screw nut, they get caught between the cam and that oil fence, many have kept right on going with that crack. Yes any 447 head will interchange but keep heads and cam covers as sets.
thanks for your advise too, its great to have someone to askThis happened to me like gggGary described and while it did run down the road my leg and the side of my bike was covered in an oil mist. I would personally get another head without a crack or get a professional machinist who can weld the aluminum and fill the crack.
