Yeah I Got the parts in a box in trade .
I noticed the color difference of the malossi bearing compared to the one I took off my old malossi kit .
Measured them up .
when I was test fitting for base gaskets and squish the piston it was tight in the barrel as I turned the flywheel and then I do a few rotations checking for binding and port timing .
But 1mm is not close enough when it is at thousands of rpms

Test fired it Mettalic noise is gone So the Bearings were the problem .
I reset the base gasket so port timing are close to maxed out .
Getting Squish down to below 1 mm with stock head is challenging without lowering port timing.

paper base gasket compressed
malossi squish band head with is 1.25 squish
athena head decked and copper spray only .62 squish
I removed.45 mm
I like were the ports timing is at with just the paper gasket .
I will break it in for now with the malossi head .
and build a .3 mm head gasket .

Took it for a quick ride to rev it up .
I have a slight exhaust leak .
The power band is a little different then the malossi .
So I will have to tune the cvt for that.
It feels mildly snappier .

How did you deck the head? The sandpaper and figure 8’s on a mirror method?
I’ve done so much sanding on a mirror, I never wanna look at myself again haha. I just bought a belt sander (which I know couldn’t be used for something as precise as head decking) and a horizontal/vertical band saw and those two tools saved me probably 2 hours worth of work on the first day of ownership. Best investments I’ve made in a while.

I traded some cigars for a small machine shop to take about .4mm off of it with a lathe .
To take that much off with out oversanding one corner would be hard to do right.
I then cleaned it up the with some figure 8s with a piece of glass and then finished it with a scotch brite pad .

I removed a bunch of material off a head before with sandpaper and a mirror, but I don't think it was that much material. Machine shop is much better than hours of sanding. You're a cigar guy ey? I love cigars. What kind did you trade? What do you smoke? I love the more "boutiquey" stuff like Tatuaje, Illusione, and stuff like Liga, Oliva and Fuente of course. Dark, full bodied maduro and some medium bodied stuff as well. |

So much cooler when someone gives you something you can use right away rather than money and having to figure out what to spend it on haha. |

when its a small quick job .
Most of them dont see the point of billing or taking the work .
When you ask a favor of one of the guys to just slip it in off the clock .
They feel like its a bonus I am happy and so are they .
I had to borrow some odds and end tools from one mechanic he wouldnt take anything .
Found out his wife likes wine took her 2 bottles .
Made his wife real happy .
He lets me borrow anything and he has let me know of all the shops/guys that will trade out for work .
