    Don't do it Bill. Those pistons are too pretty to cover in carbon. Good luck with this one.

    Have you weighed your pistons? I see the rods on the 1150 crank are colour coded differently. Probably vary in weight from the factory so it may be a reason for the customary vibration of most of the 1150 engines.

      No I didn't weigh the pistons.

        Yeah 1150 crank porn is ok, but I'm not planning on pulling mine down anytime soon. The BD went great thanks. You guys are still a day behind us then?

        With CNC machined pistons, there's very little weight difference. That's probably why the big bore engines vibrate more than stock, when matched up to odd weighted rods. The factory probably matches the piston weights to the rod weights to maintain balance.

                Looking good Bill.

                Question: how about O-ringing that cylinder to increase seal durability? The cylinder on my recently sold big bore kit was O-ringed and it seemed to seal well. Hate to see another engine of yours go up in smoke.

                  If I didn't have stock sleeves or had high compression pistons I'd o-ring.
                  Shoot I'm using copper gaskets. It will leak a little. Oil that is.

                    Got the top cases painted today and got an oil pan cleaned and ready to paint. The pan looked like it had been the mud for ten years.

                        I could do it in a day but am taking my time. I'm also on Kris's schedule. He works afternoons/evening so I've been heading up in the morning before he has to go to work. He lives forty miles away so a good morning ride is always nice. Plus it's in the mountains so double the nice.
                        Two to three weeks I'd say.

                          Oh I know all about that taking time thing.

                          I'm sure you'll keep us posted.

                              Hmmm I didnt think Wiseco made pistons in the right bore and pin size for your 1230
                              They are wiseco arent they?
                              Ahhh just remembered you are using an 1150 crank with bigger wristpins, DOH!!

                                Are you using the same 0.340 cams? What are you going to degree them at. I thought i read you were gonna go 105/107.
                                Thats what I have mine at now and whoever said pods and 4-1 dont make torque is dead wrong, mine has TONS of bottom end and mid. My .340 web cams should be arriving this week and i am debating where to degree mine at. Any input from the experts? Sorry if its a bit of a highjack, Bill
