kennethbrantley5 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I have a stock 06 shee with reeds,exhaust, coolhead, and jetted. I'm not ready for a 4mill yet, but I want to get a port job and up the compression. And later get the 4mill. What would you guy's do?

sheerider11 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Go right to a 4 mil. Your going to need to re port it anyway. Why pay twice for the same thing. Also gonna need new pistons. So just wait till you can get a 4 mil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfaith08 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Make it easy and call a builder and say that you wanna price a 4mil. You don't need to know part numbers, only whether they recommend something and whether you can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0chek Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 i agree with both^ if your motor is still running strong then save some money up to do the whole 4 mil package at once so you only tear the motor down once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfaith08 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) The best route is to buy a non-running engine and have it built for when your engine either lets go or starts to show significant signs of wear. That way, you aren't missing any rides due to it being out at a builder. It's an added expense or $400-1k, but I've known people to miss 4-5 rides while waiting on an engine.Benefits of a builder: you know the work is done correctly, you don't have to do shit Cons of a builder: shipping and labor will total 500-600 depending on the builder and shipping. Fwiw, I was quoted a 4mil stock cyl plus labor and extras at $1900ish. Serval was around $2600 including more extras.
