The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Considering Big Bore on the 1100E to an 1166

Rapidray,

Why do you choose the 1150 block over the 1100 block in your builds?

Ihad to have the cases machined to get large enough barrels into it for the 1266 kit.

With the 1100 cylinder you can only go 1166. With the 1150 cylinder you can go 1229 with the same 3 MM overbore. Even if you DID have to bore the upper case half, which I NEVER have had to do yet with a 1229, it's only $50.00 to bore the case half & you could just have it bored to fit a 1428 for the future. It costs the same to bore the upper case half whether it's for an 1150 cylinder or a 1500! Going 1229 over 1166 is good for about another 10-15 horsepower if the engine is done by someone who knows what they are doing. Part of the HP gain is due to being able to unshroud the valves with the bigger bore & the airflow gain with it. Ray.
 
... it's only $50.00 to bore the case half ...

Must be cheap shipping where you live. I think I spent closer to $80 last time when it was all said and done. But your right, it's nothing compared to the other costs.

Ok, 50 bucks plus shipping but I am in SOCAL where APE & several other shops that do it are! Ray.

Yes, the oil cooled GSXR cams can be used. Who told you the 1100 head is only good up to 1166? I have built several 8 second motors with STOCK valve 1100 heads. Ray.

Right, so why don't you bring some cases to bore, and come up and check out the new place.

Jay, I really would like to come see the new place but I am just never up at Willow anymore. I have seen the pictures & it HAS to be less stressful for you to feel more open in your shop now! How is Diane? Is she at the shop again now or is she still doing the web stuff from home? Ray.
