Looks like a fun project!  Did you find this build, or was it Oscar?

It came down through Destry Abbott as he is good friends with Oscar and Sunny.

Ok... We got the engine in from Oscar and Jason and I started right in on it.
From the outside it looks about right for the age..



The next step is to pop the head and measure the port timing.



And of course measure and record the head step, overall thickness, gasket thicknesses, ect.

So much fun...



Next, I split the crank halves and cleaned them up a bit.
Remember, if you want a dirty crank in your bike, send the crank builder a dirty crank...
You'll get back a dirty crank with a nice new rod  :-o

Normally we do all our own porting but this time we are sending the head and cylinder to Tom Morgan at TMR for one of his world famous port jobs.
Also, he will true, balance, and assemble the crank for us. Normally Jason or I do our own porting but this is a collaborative effort with Tom, Racer X magazine, Jay Clark, and others. We have another project that we will be working with Tom on in the future for another Motocross action magazine build so stay tuned.

This looks like it's going to be a fun build.  Are you doing the same stuff to the suspension that you did to Groot?

The porting will be for minimal increased power everywhere but a smoother more linear power.

Not sure if you can get F.I.R Titanium engine mounts for the KX 500 in the States?
