If I had his name here i'd share it, he texted me - no pm. His real name is Jarrett Utley.

No worries, not trying to pick on you, I'm not an english major by any means haha. There are many new guys here that are wayyyy worse. They'll write a novel without a single capital letter, period, comma, etc. It's just 10x easier to read and make sense of technical questions for both parties when it isn't a jumbled run-on sentence with texting language.

Sorry, that nets me less than $40 after shipping. For that price I'll keep them as spares.

Ok, so I brought the box to my day job, made a label, and gave it to the shipping dept on the 7th. I never paid any further attention to it. Apparently mailman didn't have anything for us on the 7th so was a no show, forgot to grab a whole stack of packages on the 8th when he came, so it was then picked up on the afternoon of the 9th and I watched it walk out of the building. Apparently this jackass doesn't know how unreliable USPS scans are as the first one showing up in tracking is the 10th. He of course felt it necessary to overwhelm me with his knowledge and reason.

If it wasn't already in the mail I would've haha. It's a shame Darwinism isn't more effective these days.

Sold a single carb setup to a member for $75 shipped recently. Manifold, cable, boot, 34pj, kn + outerwear, and a whole bottle of jets and needles. Subtract $15 for shipping and you bought a jet assortment and an K&N. Got a manifold, carb, boot, outerwear, and cable for free. For anyone else who doesn't know understand the concept of professional courtesy, here's a lesson in how not to ask for information politely:

If its a dedicated trail bike, I'm all for singles setups. Much easier to change things, no burning pods on pipes, easy throttle pull. Does it make as much peak hp on a dyno? Technically no. Will it ever be noticeable to you? Not unless you're a pro-am rider and run both setups back to back on the same trail the same day. Just for simplicity sake alone I like them for non drag apps. I only got rid of my single setup to go to efi.

.040" over just like it says in the first post. Seriously, nobody wants a nice set of blue plastics for $100 or a single setup carb for $75!? Just the carb and jets is worth $75+.

I won't bother welding, I'll use Devcon aluminum epoxy. Way less of a pita. Going to try some things with these. I'll post up pics when I start playing with them. Just got some new 1/8" burrs from CC to use on these. Cutting Al with dull stuff sucks.

Jets that come with 2-1 setup jugs Piston out of right cylinder. stock head milled .030. $15 shipped.

Now that the sleeve is out, we can get a really good rare look at the ports.

Fuckin A! Not going to make this one. Melted a piston last weekend in my stock cyl topend so I was going to put my t Rex top end together to make this trip. It needed a sleeve and I just tried to change it but turns out I have a funky one and the TDR off the shelf one didn't line up right. Damnit!

I tried asking Tony some technical questions when I bought the sleeve and pistons from him, but he wasn't really wanting to divulge much specifics. He offered he'd be happy to install the sleeve and port it though.... I'll try reaching out to Eric and Arlen. I googled around and found Dan Lamey still works at racers edge, I'll shoot him an email too. I was hoping some people on here would have messed with them and might have some specific pointers. Appreciate the offer but I've already too many parts for the rex to just toss it. Since I'm not after 300' times, I got it for cheap enough and I'm sure it will be plenty for my needs.

Time to sell off some stuff! I'll add pics as I pull parts off the bike and dig up others. Full set of blue plastics with dumbo ears trimmed off, very nice shape. $100 plus shipping, or local pikcup Single carb setup. Steel intake manifold (including for free, not the prettiest but it works), carb boot, 34pj carb, kn filter/outwear, and throttle cable. $75 shipped. - SOLD ADA Racing coolhead with 21cc domes in perfect shape, uses stock studs. O ring kit in it has 4 hours on it. $100 shipped. - SOLD 2 stock gas tanks. $5 plus shipping. - SOLD 1 stock radiator and hoses. $1 plus shipping Full stock front brake system. Calipers, master, and flex hoses. $40 shipped. My triple exhaust port stock cylinders with large boyesen ports with 128/195 timings. Just put a hole in the left piston so they will need honed. Left cyl isn't gouged, but has some streaks on it. At .040 over right now. $300 shipped. New style vitos stock stroke crank. 10 hours on it at 40:1 of amsoil. Left side lower rod bearing is slightly looser than the right side. Right side is super tight. Should have a new left rod bearing put on it. $100 shipped. Set of stock reed cages with boyesen petals. $20shipped. Stock banshee thumb throttle assembly. $15 shipped. Feel free to call/text me at 248 755 8118 if you'd rather.

Too late now, I probably need a 4 mil crank anyway. Expecting some piston chunks hurt it on the left side. Haven't been able to check port timings yet. I'll have the pistons on tuesday to play around and measure things. I've been reading and watching a bunch of stuff Arlen has put up over the years and I know he likes to stagger the transfers on his PV honda cylinders.

Ok, so I just put a hole in my left piston today of my stock stroke 12+ port stock cylinders. Most likely developed an air leak as the right cylinder is perfect. Not going to rebuild them since I picked up a 4 mil t rex cylinder that is virgin ported with pv's. Right now I'm running 128/195 port timings with my not so stock cylinders and PT high revs. For now I'll be keeping the PT's with the Rex, eventually I will build a custom set of stainless pipes that corkscrew in front of the motor like the PT's do. I'm after as much low/mid power as I can get while still keeping enough top end to ruin the pride of any unsuspecting 4 pokes. I know these are old school and I should've bought a cheetah pv and sent it out, etc, etc. But I like a challenge so lets try to make this thing scream. I've searched and read all I can find on the rex setups, but there's hardly anything out there other than "send it to K&T". Looking at the ports, the transfers have great volume, but a non existent short turn radius since the sleeve forms the inside wall of the transfer. Other than some slight height adjustments, the exhaust port doesn't look like it needs any real work. The intake and boyesen ports are huge, I can't see any gains to be had there beyond just cleaning and radiusing. Since the transfers seem to need all the work, any tips specific to these cylinders? Any particular roof angle they seem to like? Is the 128-130* still a good transfer duration figure or do these cylinders like seem to like something different? Should the transfer opening times be staggered or all open at the same time? For exhaust port timing, I've read these need more duration to hit good numbers than cp cylinders. How high can you go on these before you kill the bottom end? Thanks for the tips everyone!

Yup.

Good to know! I'll have to make it out there next spring with the real motor in the bike and have some fun.

Phone double posted, please delete. Thanks!

Have a stock stroke vitos crank with about 5 hours on it with gas at 40:1, amsoil dominator oil. I'm looking for an equally good condition 4 mil long rod crank. To trade with crank For your long rod 4 mil, I have; cool head with 21cc domes Full 34pj PJ single carb setup from thumb throttle to air filter Stock head shaved .030" Stock gas tank Stock radiator Set of blue plastics with cut front fenders in really nice shape. Let's make a deal. Get ahold of me at 248-755-8118

Put it in the belly of the pipe closer to the end of the chamber. I had it about 8-10" from motor at first and I fouled 2 sensors out

Better late than never, could be like zillas efi project!
