Glad I have new Kibblewhite valve springs. Buried the Tach too many times because of the old one. :dry:

Thanks for reminding me to use RTV! I used RTV many times on many bikes, works perfect all the time! :)

It doesn't work well for the carb holders at the head. I used :ohmy: Permatex there only until I could buy some new ones. BIG difference. :woohoo:

Just ordered my 903 crank. Been watching it for a while. There's a 1075 kit I have my eye on but it's the old style cast Wiseco pistons. I'll make an offer and if it's accepted, I'll buy it. I figure I can sell the 750 Z2 crank and my 1015 pistons and make some money on the deal. If nothing else, the bike should be quicker with higher compression. We'll see. :whistle:

It took a while to gather the parts needed for my valve job one by one. The original Wiseco's were cast but they don't sell them anymore. The rings are the same so if I do get the 1075, I'll get new rings to go with them. Gives me something to look forward to. B)

Funny thing about it though, when I ran into Miller on his Honda Davidson in 87, I pulled on him when before he would walk away from me. He said "you're learning." That was with new cams and stock carbs. Obviously the lighter crank made a difference even with the loss in compression. :unsure:

lighter cranks spin faster.

but compression makes torque and horsepower! :evil:

plus you'll be gaining back some stroke which will be more torque at the expense of less revs.

YUP. A added bonus is if I left this crank in the shop, it would have burned with all the rest of my parts and had been stolen for scrap. :angry: It's valuable and can be sold for $$$ :woohoo: . I'm tempted to tear into it as soon as it arrives but I've waited this long, might as well get the other goodies I want as well. B)
