Setting a street 1125R up to drag race

[Puzzled]

Group pic!

Since the pic the piston pin clip tool arrived as well as the Barnett heavier clutch springs.

Looks killer any plans for the ZTL2????

 

[sidefx]

Want to trade straight up for a 6 piston spare?

He bought my 6 piston a while back

I'm still waiting to see a pic of solid rocket boosters.
It would be awesome to see this up against a vrod when its done.

 

[Puzzled]

As for the 8 piston I took off, I'm going to keep it for my street bike.

As for the front braking system, I will eventually get the Braking front rotor which weighs in at 2.36 pounds compared to the stock rotor at 3.2 pounds.

V-Rod hunh? What does a Destroyer run? I know of two 1125s' running 9.26 and 9.36 on stock motors, no bars, extended arms.

Gawd!!! Do work!!! [up]

Revolution has the Ti valves (42mm from 41.3mm Int & 35.4 from 35mm Exh), Beryllium Copper seats and Bronze guides in their hands so they can get the heads done.

I spoke with the machine shop balancing the rotating assembly and I "should" be able to pick it up on my way by their place tomorrow. The reciprocating weight will be 55% of the 100% rotating weight.

My exhaust has been ordered and should be in soon (coming from the UK.).

 

[Puzzled]

The pipe I have ordered. It is a EBR Sidewinder full drag pipe with large diameter headers.

those pipes look so sick. did they come with earplugs?

According to the two different guys that have one of these pipes they said they are F-ing loud.

 

[Puzzled]

Look at the crap inside of the cases!

 

[Puzzled]

With everything I found in the motor nothing made its way though the bearings.

The trans looks pretty robust.

 

[Puzzled]

I cleaned the cases with soap and water as well as a little bit of carb/brake clean.

 

[Puzzled]

So I get the cases cleaned and they are in front of the heater drying. I go to pick them up to run some air pressure over them and on the floor is a spring. Uh oh where did it come from? I spent and hour and a half trying to find where this spring came from. I did not want to proceed without knowing this as I didn't easily spot it in the manual or parts breakdown. Cleaning the cases must have removed the oil film holding the spring in and allowed it to drop out on the floor.

 

[Puzzled]

Rotating assembly! According to the shop that balanced the parts they said even with the new pistons and rods I could have run it "as is" as they were that close.

The rod bolts get torqued than turned 70*. So I marked my socket to show when I was at the required degree.

There are a couple of press in plugs in the stock crank that E B R suggested be pulled out and pipe plugs be installed. After the plugs came out there was some crap in the passages.

 

[Puzzled]

The crank installation is straight forward. Pay attention to crank orientation and which holes you have the rods in. While connecting the two case halves you have a few ends from the trans that have to get guided through some holes. A few taps from my hand and they fit right together. I ran the eight gazillion case bolts in with my 18 volt Dewalt and than torqued them from there.

 

[Puzzled]

I probably installed every gear at least 3 times before I got all of the parts in the right places as well as what sequance they go in.

 

[Puzzled]

The crank locking tool from earlier, a definitely must have tool.

 

[Puzzled]

The heads are done and were shipped today. I will O-Ring them when they get here and than I should be ready for final motor assembly.

Heads,
42mm TI Intake valves
35.4MM TI Exhaust valves
Beryllium Copper Seats
Del West bronze guides
"Stage 3" port work
.010" milled surface

With a .032 head gasket I'm looking at 15.4 to 1 compression.
With a .043 head gasket I'm looking at 14.75 to 1 compression.

My valve to piston clearance will determine which head gasket I go with (silly puddy time).

Looks like I'm down to the pipe as far as parts go that I'm aware of. I'm sure there will be something I forgot along the way. I still have body work to sort out also.
