Didn't have any parts lined up for test fit or assembly this weekend. So, I was able to get out for some much needed seat therapy. I met up with my good friend and owner of Supernova Jerseys yesterday, and we hit up the MX track and trails at IMI Motorsports Complex in Erie, CO. Actually, the same place I raced the Blackhawk on the circle track. Was a great day to ride with temps in the high 60's F, tho it was quite windy and dusty. Was pretty cool tho, because a Colorado drift car club was there having a meet on the road course. Was a pleasure to the senses with scents arraying from burnt rubber, to methanol to pre-mix.
As for the build, the replacement cylinders and pistons were marked as shipped this morning. So, will hopefully have those in my possession soon. So, if there is any good be had from this ordeal, at least I will have brand new cylinders with all the fins, back to original bore with the option to oversize in the future. Plus, apparently when you order cylinders and pistons together from HC's, they fit the pistons and rings to the cylinders before shipping. So, when I get them, I will be able to go right in. With the exception I will have to check for conrod clearance. Bad news is, the shipping quote to return parts back to HC's was over $200!
So, I'm going to post them on a couple of Facebook pages and just try to break even on them. I would post them on here, but I know Kevin doesn't allow that.
