I understand, so install hotter cam will have a large increase in combination with higher compression.
So by a exstra block for spare is a good dection then, so you backup if you borr up to 810 and need a new borr in the future.

Question/ The specs for piston/cylinder clearance states 0.06mm.
As said before, mine are 0.6mm.
0.06 mm seems pretty tight. Is this right or a misprint? I kind of remember in a lot of cases piston ring end gaps being significantly larger than that.

Piston to cylinder gap is not the same thing as ring end gap. The ring end gap is indeed much larger that the piston to cylinder clearance.Hi guys, been away a while.

I've spent much of my life just fixing things (hence the handle) and I've grown tired of it. I've spent 3 or 4 years on it and in the last 2 have pretty much done nothing.
So, the bike needs to go.
I live in Western Sydney, so if anyone is interested in taking it on, please contact me.
Frame is mostly done, bike is complete (looking for one part in my garage ATM).
Engine will need a rebore and carbs restored. Primary chain and cam chain all within specs, and is partially dismantled.
I have kept a photographic collection showing the dismantling.
