Wasn't going to start this thread until I got my frame, but I decided to start it anyway, since I have started assembling the motor.
I am getting an '03 frame from @sbeachstang in return for a blaster related favor I did for him. I also ended up getting a broken set of cases in return. So, I gave @sicivicdude a call.
Here's what I started out with.
Here's what the repair looks like. (as it should)
When I sent the case, I also sent my jug and head to him. I had him do an aggressive trail port, along with shaving the head for a +3mm stroker crank.
I decided not to post up pics of the porting.
Last night I started assembling the bottom end. I replaced the crank bearings and seals.
Then I went ahead and lapped the cases....not all of use have a granite block to work with...LOL
And I got this far last night.
