Can you put a link with BIGS pics in ?
You play with fire if your middle seals are wrongs....
What is the bore of the con rods ?

All my crank seals are being replaced, so no worry there. I'll be sending the crankshaft out to be rebuilt soon.

I will be selling them, I've got a set of expansion chambers on order. The stock parts are in decent shape, but by no means are they perfect. No major dents, but they have a few scratches along with the overall condition you'd expect a set of 35+ year old pipes to be in.

Good.

Progress update:

The crank and cylinders were shipped on Monday to Bill Bune in MN for new crank seals and a 0.5mm overbore. Cleaned up the cases, etc and will paint the engine when the cylinders get back. My new expansion chambers arrived from Titan Performance and they look fantastic! I can't wait to hear them.

The engine looks nice and clean now. How are things going with that aluminum tank you're getting done?

Sean said it'd be a ~9 weeks based on his current shop load. I'm at ~ three weeks. Should have it sometime in December. I can't finish up the frame and get the powdercoating done until I have the tank. Until then the engine and wheels are my focus.

Got a phone call from the shop last night. The crank and cylinders are finished and I should have them back by the end of the week.

Bill Bune is great to do business with. They do quality work at reasonable prices with quick turnaround. Can't beat that!

I'm happy so far. The price was very reasonable and they only had the parts for 3 business days.

My crank and cylinders came back from the shop today. Everything looks great.
