is that a brand new center valve?
I ask, cause I have a brand new spare, and the appearance matches with that one.

I saw you mention the write will be coming but can I ask questions anyway?  about the rear caliper, did you weld tall cooling fins on and port the caliper?  what do you expect from the devol cooler?  think it will make a difference?

Absolutely ask questions  :lol:

I have two different calipers.
One has the welded cooling fins from a 94 ATK 406 and is ported.

The other is stock but will use the Devol cooler.

I can use the Devol cooler with the ported caliper but it sticks out to the side a bit and I would like to avoid it if I can.

I have a 4th revision if I need it but since the Devol cooler is suppose to reduce temps by 30% I hope I will not have to build it  :-o

Did a Google search and saw lots of examples of ported calipers.  I like the idea of porting.  you see any reason why a guy couldn't port all 3 calipers on his sport atv?

The big issue I see is aluminum gets softer at fairly low temperatures which is why I believe most calipers are so thick.
Porting can help keep the brakes cooler but it also weakens them.
So how much is enough, or too much?
We will find the sweet spot on ours eventually  :lol:

WPC Treatment really came through for us on this build.
This engine should shift smoother and have less gear drag resulting in longer life parts and less HP being wasted in the gear box.

Well.... We are waiting. I saw Seans 500 but had a lot of races going on Saturday so I never got a chance to get over there and by the time I did late Saturday it seemed like everyone was gone already. I saw him start our 2 stroke race but I did not see him finish, how did it go?
