Very nice. I have about a million pictures of my latest project that I think I may post up here soon. Seems like everyone has a project at the moment.

lol thats me and my perfect "A" in english!

Well, I took the motor and everything to my buddies place today and my machine work will be started here next week.

Also, due to the fact that there was no compression in the one cylinder, I figured it had bent valves. I was gonna just wait and see if that was the problem before buying new ones but instead picked up a set of 1mm oversized stainless valves for 100 bucks. So it looks like the head is gettin done up a bit more than I expected it to. lol

On top of this... I know I know, I'm going overboard again here...

My one other buddy is putting his Talon back to stock and I might possibly be getting his MSD HO2 ignition and his Coil on plug setup... Sooo... Yeah... I must be an idiot here...

At least I'll be a fast idiot. lol

on that coil on plug setup that you are talking about, is that where its the 4 small black boxes, one for each spark plug, that sits on top of the valve cover?

Yes... Those "black boxes" are individual coils on each of the plugs. Hence its name. lol

yeah i thought they were coils, but i wasnt sure lol. plus...umm... i figured i would describe them, kinda like a game...right.....

lol

I know a guy who's running those COP's and he loves them. He said it made such a difference because he was having trouble with getting all his spark to the plugs. And with those OS vavles, I usually suggest against them, but since you got them for $100, I say put those bitches in and bend the hell out of them!! Haha.

lol Why do you advise against them? Just because of the money-power gain ratio? I wasn't gonna do anything like this but the guy was like how about 100 bucks and I jumped all over it. lol

[Blackcrow64]

Just dropped some money on a brand new oil pump front case and a water pump... With all this new stuff the project sure is adding up to a lot of hard earned money...

[NOFX0617]

Yeah its a lot of money but I think you will be very satisfied when you are done...and after you break everything in and are able to get on it....The day that you can start to push it will be so much fun...

[scottsee]

I want a COP, but wont pay $250 for them sence our ingintion systems are fine well into the 10's

Because if you get the head decked and jump one tooth, you'll bend the valves. On a stock setup, if you're off one tooth, you most likely won't bend anything, but with the OS valves, there's that much less of a clearance between the piston and valves. That's why

Ahh, ok... That kinda sucks. But with everything be replaced with brand new parts, I think I should be ok for jumping my timing. Unless something tragic happens...
