Got me bigbore kit now

To be honest, with my kids so young I don't get a lot of spare time...so even though I'm well behind my plan I may as well bring forward other plans such as a respray and ceramic coating exhaust headers and link pipe, as I just had those water blasted to perfection. I think I'll go full on and go for an immaculate build...hopefully make more power than beano....!!!!

I'm surprised you have gone with a plated bore after all the negative comments they get , that tells me pj engineering must have faith in nicasil bores or they wouldn't do it .

When playing not so familiar area it's better tohave a safe (=spare) - were you urgrading an other block ?

I've full three engines in total , one running ( in frame), one spare in full working order and the original slightly blown to be upgraded 11xx cc one.

I can't help but wonder if the enthusiasm has died.....found out today the bores are just about ready, pending final checks....should be with me before end of this week.

If the bores are now spot on, I can't but help wonder what the next issue will be. I'm hoping the pistons will have the right clearance to the valves once the can timing in dialed in....but its a lot of work to get there. Fingers crossed...I didn't see any difference between stock piston and big piston when I measured them against each other on the valve insets. I'm secretly hoping the other pistons on Beanos bike were fitted to bores that were off centre.

Too many things to worry about.

At least I know mine will be spot on...so onwards and upwards I guess.

fingers crossed for ya & can't wait to see the finished article TMH

I'm glad it's all sorted for you , the rate I'm going I'll need a skip to empty my garage soon , I hope it's all plain sailing for you now pal.

Would you believe it.....I got the new bores back!!!
Looks like a bloody good job too, immaculate, clean in every corner, shiney ally ready to paint, install. Woo hoo!
First impressions is the gap being pretty spot on, both bores feel the same. I'll do some measuring to make sure. Actually feel pretty good now. New post up soon......new blog to follow.
Its been a year since I bought the kit....October found the first issue, bores went back, Feb second issue, bores went back, new company, better cred, new bores, June got them back.....anyone thinking of dealing with jet bore in wolves....run a bloody mile! They sh1t. PJME on the other hand, superb!

Ta!

I expect it all up,and running by 10 tonight!!!

Ha ha

Glad you,have them back...

And what with Nitrous Griff? There was a folk tale once that you were thinking of doing that to yours - 'in your spare time - I think was the story
