After doing the base porting, Jason is Vapor Blasting the cylinder to clean it up.
Once it is done it will get all final port work then it will go off to plating.
Once it comes back, it will get the final Vapor Blasting and then polishing, clean up, then assembly..
Still a lot of work to do..



I don't think most people fully grasp how much work Jason's level of porting takes.
Here is a bit of a secret.
In the first hour to hour and a half you can get 80-85% of the basic port work done, or something comparable to E. Gore, or some of the other big name shops. To get that last 15-20% takes more and more time.... But if your looking for a quality port job you won't see much if any better then Jason's work any where...

It's like pulling teeth to get the Wossner Pistons and Rod kits....
I guess I should not have told so many people how good they are  :|

I finally tapped all the holes for the 2 piece clutch cover..



It's gonna look great.

We finally received a Wossner rod  :-o
I couldn't get the one's I ordered from Wossner as they are on back order (Forever), but I did find one in the UK.
It only cost me double what it should have but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I want this engine D.O.N.E...



But that's not good enough...



That's better...

You put all the blood, sweat, and tears, into building a awesome engine.
Why not spend a few minutes (Ok, maybe a little longer) cleaning out the carb?

That motor looks cleaner than a new bike.  You and Jason's work has started looking more and more like dirt bike porn.   :-D
