    Over due update, I've completed the following;

    Custom Intake
    Custom Exhaust Flange
    Custom spacer plate
    Custom base gaskets

    I am few other misc gaskets away from having what I need to finally get this thing together enough to do a leak down test. Thats when it'll get interesting

    Pretty much after I know I can seal the thing air tight and make it hold a vacuum, I'll be onto making coolant routes from the head and the cylinder both to fit the 250R configuration...and then...assembly....?!


    Doesn't sound like much but in practicality it'll be a lot of work to get there I'm sure.

    Actually, to just about anyone who has put a wrench to anything mechanical, we can very much appreciate the planning, trial/error, and labor involved in a build like this. I wish I had the machinery and knowledge to do the things you are doing! I do all my own tear-down and rebuilding, but all machine work I need done is outsourced. I can measure with calipers and micrometers to double check work, but that's about it!

    Carry on Sir!

    Thanks for all the replies and kind words. Its got some hairy points, but really, anyone with an old knee type Bridgeport mill could be doing just as good and probably even better than I am. You just have to be dumb enough to try it is the key

    Soon to follow...... A laydown version for an ATC70

    Great, great work Billy, you are certainly self motivated.

    Some people look at things that are 1/4" off and think "no way, will that fit, I'll have to rebuild mine ". Heck, there only holes and spacers right??

    As you say, think OUTSIDE the box!!

    It does kill me when I see some of these scored up pistons and bores with a little aluminum melted on them and people buy and replace all that stuff.

    Buff off the high spots on the piston, rub a little muratic on the cylinder walls the clean off the melted aluminum, use a pick to clean out the ring grooves, and put the mofo back together!

    Here is a video update for ya'll;

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgWbcBo4ZSM

    Make sure to select HD quality for the footage. I should be able to begin doing leak down testing within the next week or so. I'm waiting on just a few more gaskets

    Looks great! Hope everything goes well. I'm just as jealous as these other guys,wish I had the time.
    Would like to know what your compression is and cant wait to see that pipe too.
    There are some guys on the triples website that custom make pipes and have cone pieces for sale.
