Hi there was a complete build on it last winter in this  project section
there was some intial issues that have since been corrected 
it works perfect,no slippage whatsoever,smooth shifts and the rattling messes with the other racers LoL

Did all my port work in my garagePlugged the exhaust emission holes  and the springs are ape Vs900k because I use a megacycle 410 lift cam

I love your dry clutch setup. That took some real engineering and machining to come up with that setup!!!!!

Now your cylinder head porting is more than impressive. The consistency of the shape and finish of your finished ports is up there with some of the big buck heads I had ported over the years!!!!

Thanks it's my 3rd try, not my favorite part of doing the engine
but I'm too cheap to pay someone else LoL
It's a sick feeling when you detroy a head and all the work goes down the toilet
destroyed my first head  when we broke a tack during a race weekend and had no rev limiter,the bucket is somewhere on the track lol
Live and learn.,rev limiter is now installed

Took the head to work in order to grind,it's rarely done this wayBut have no access to a quality head resurfacer, I've always done it this way
no chances of tool chatter as it cuts slightly into the hard valve seats on the intake side 
.025 was taken off in order to get more squeeze out of it

Thanks on the clutch
not sure on the compressionA brief history
first engine blew up2nd engine with dry clutch
​​​​​​is presently in the race bikeHead shown is being prepared for a back up motor

Had to make 8 guides from c954 bronze,I know they could be ordered
But I was in a rush and knew I wanted certain dimensions
Then was able to grind the seats for the valves

After a few seats were cut a bit deep because of new guides had to make a few .020 shims to accommodate for the difference Then had to machine the keepers After the valve stems were ground if you don't have an expensive valve spring checker,this vice method is the next best thing
