Engine Case choices

Are the 1150 cases better for Modded Engines than 100 cases? I wondered what the pros say bout this Thanx Mike

How big a bore? I epoxy 1100 cases to add a lot of strength to them before boring the upper case half for bigger sleeves..

Just a 1500 what epoxy you use Ray ? Mike

I use the Z-Spar Splash Zone, same stuff I use for intake ports. The stuff STAYS in place.

Thanks Ray Have you ever tried the Marine Tex Epoxy? I did do a head with JB weld and it never fell out? You really epoxy the cases to bore out for monster motors? I wonder how that looks? Paint over it? Is that epoxt caramel colour/ Thanx Mike

[rapidray]

I will try to get a picture of it up tomorrow. Yes on the color. I have used JB Weld in the past, before I found out about the Z-Spar.

I am only speaking for my self - the V701 cases are my favorite for larger engines, gsx1100 cases definitely need some epoxy if you go all the way out to the 3.600 can you spot where it is on these cases?
