Imagion tryin to run a 70cc with that restricter in? It wouldnt last a week....
I think i missed it, what crank did you decide to go with?

Stage 6 12mm sport (not a stroker)

My credit card is on FIRE! ;D

I give you 2 dolla fo stink eye prease.

[shiftless]

:oDAYUM!!!
Thats some pile o partz there
Lock your garage door tight

[2strokd]

LMAO!
Nice choice. I gotta admit, this is turning out to be one HELL OF A RUK MAN ;D!
Well done on pickn parts and smokin that plastic bud !

[90GTVert]

;D LOL ;D

[Enviromoto]

Well now I actually got to put this thing together

[Enviromoto]

Alright now Im getting to the point where I need some help.

First and foremost please bear with the pictures. I use a old cannon since my wife dont like my funky fingerprints on her nice camera.

So I installed the crank bearings and did a little writeup on that.

I installed some crank bearings today and thought I would share the process.

Step 1:

Freeze crank overnight.



Step 2:

Preheat oven to 200



Step 3:

Take bearings and place in oven for 25 minutes.







Step 4:

Remove crank from freezer after the bearings are done heating up.



Step 5:

Remove bearings from oven 1 at a time and slide onto crankshaft. If this is done correctly no tools are needed. Also note that these are polymer cage bearings and the open side needs to face away from the crank web.







Step 6:

Repeat on other side.



Step 7:

Let cool to room temperature and put back into freezer for installation into motor at a later date.

Then I came out into the shop and started to look at the ports.





As you can see there is a little meat to be taken but Ive never done this before and I dont have time to learn. Because learning with me usually means screwing up at least once and with this deadline I dont have that luxury.

Let me ask you this do you feel that on this build that porting will do me that much good? I have low performance expectations and would much rather have daily driver dependability over top end performance.

Thoughts? Installation suggestions?

Good job with the crank.
I wouldnt worry about port matching on this one yet bud.
I would recommend some practice first and like you said this isnt a "all out" performance build. Dont get me wrong it does help, i have ran Skeedr with and w/out port matched set-ups.
Its not necessary at all....You have a good set-up, it should be pretty stout as is. Run it for awhile.....Practice porting, then tear it down and port it. Better that then slipping up and messing your case ,or jug up . Not sayin you would .
You could practice with the stocker, when you get the time

Good question

[90GTVert]

Nice work on the how-to.

It really wouldn't take long to port match. What do you need to learn? As long as you've use grinders/dremels/files before it shouldn't be that much to it. Just mark what needs to be removed and have at it with the tool of your choice. You don't need to get real deep and change things dramatically, just match things up to promote better flow and reduce turbulence. I don't think it's gonna make a lot more power that way, but now's the time to do it. It'll be fine though if you decide not to.

BTW, is it the case that needs porting. Sorry, but with the weird exposure or whatever I can't quite tell. If it's the aluminum case, you might be surprised how quickly you can remove material with hand files. It's harder to screw things up with hand files too.

Matching the transfers to the cases should be done any time
the cases are split as much is lost with a 'steppy' mismatch!

[Enviromoto]

Thanks for the input guys.

[Enviromoto]

What do you guys torque your top end down to?

[90GTVert]

12-15ft-lbs

[Enviromoto]

Ive decided to go ahead to match the transfers so tomorrow there will be lots of pictures.
