MILO Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 i've hardly had my shee out this summer or been to the site much. i've spent more time on the street this year. i recently traded my cbr600 on an '08 yamaha r1. pretty much all of my free time has been on it instead and the shee hasn't seen much more than the yard until this past Sunday. i went for a rip with some friends and took the shee, and what do you know, the rt piston ended up being toasted. the ring gap is now at the front of the piston, piston chunked up and cracked down the skirt, and caused enough debris on top to chew up my noss head dome. it doesn't appear to have let anything down into the crank though, but i'm not 100% sure. luckily it's almost like the last time when my left piston let loose and i rebuilt in april '06. anyway, here i am with an excuse to make some changes. here are my thoughts. required: - most likely bored due to a gouge in the cylinder wall. (just needed honed last time) - new wiseco piston kits - new noss domes due to damage from debris - of course new cylinder base and noss head gaskets now here's the extras i'm considering while i have it apart. - advanced timing with RS or Pro Design plate - changing from 20cc domes to 19cc domes - crank trued & welded - porting (probably woods port) since i mostly trail ride questions: - am i on the right track here? i already have PC pipes, noss head, v3's, hinson basket / tusk clutch. - how much am i looking to get into here ($$). i'm assuming around $300 or so for the required fix, and probably around $600 - $800 to go with the extras. does that sound about right? i'm probably going to tear into the bottom end myself if i go that route. i'm sure that with my clymer's, i'll get through it fine. other than gaskets and crank bearings, what am i missing, or what should i do or not do??

jbooker82 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yea that sounds about right. I port job will make a huge difference. It is the next big gain after pipes. You can get a nice billit plate from chariot performance for a good price. Better than the 90 bucks for the PD, and better quality than the RS cast one. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 thanks bud, i'll check them out for the plate. i was leaning towards the PD plate cuz i've heard nothing but bad news about RS lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Look up kevin from herr jugs racing for the porting if you want a geat port job and a great price with a quick turn around. He will also be able to do the bore and hone. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbcmudtruck Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 HJR is the way to roll for super quick turn around time and one stop shop. My bike is dominating at the races with a HJR dune port. Also I have some 19cc domes for sale if you need em. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
