Not sure what happened, the last few post's dissapeared ???
Anyway, I've done 100kms, and it's had the first oil change.
Running very strong (only been up to 3500 Rpm and small throttle openings), front cylinder is a little warm, but still running in I guess. Appears to have decent oil pressure, and the valve train is pretty quiet so far for the Wood's TW8 Cam. AFR is floating around 14:1 cruise, and drops into the 13's under power. I've advanced the timing, but needs still needs more work.
Will try and get around 500kms up, and will look into some Dyno time.
The clutch adjustment was a bit weird initially with the Barnett extra plate, running out of lever, but is settling in now, and lever pull is strangely light with the SE spring. Not sure if it will hold though ?
Can't seem to insert a Youtube clip ?

Ando, It's an Innovate LM2.
Nice to use and has data logging.

Yes, Bub 7 pipe. Luckily it has O2 bungs already fitted.
speedster, how is she going?
i have one of those Inovate gadgets
will you take it to the track?
Krash, running pretty good, but only done 200km's so far, so not pounding on it yet. Grabbed a fist full and had the AFR's into the 9's so will need to drop the main jet to pull it back. The wideband makes Carb' tuning so damn easy, don't know how we did it in the old days !! Still got some heat issues that I'd like to improve, and waiting on a cable so I can get into the Daytona Twin Tec ignition to play with a custom map. The dials don't give you a lot of choice. Also have an oil cooler on the way. Once I get around 5-600kms, I will try and get some Dyno time. Would love to get back into some 1/4 action. We have an 1/8 track locally, and looks like Heathcote is still doing test and tune days.

Looks like the new motor has gone tits up !!
Found the rod big end side clearance is screwed, 1.35mm clearance, and the crap in the oil has scuffed the bore/pistons.
Was still running great, and pretty quiet !
The worst thing is, I have no F'ing idea why it's happened ! I'm trying to figure out if it's anything I could have done wrong ? Figured I was doing the right thing by having the Crank built by the best, and having them set it up in the new cases. I'm sure they will stand behind their product, but it will still cost me $$ and time.
It appears the rear rod big end has been grinding away on the flywheel. It should have something like .005 - .020" side play, and now has over .050" .
The pistons/bores aren't badly damaged , as it's only done around 300km's
No obvious metal in the oil as such, just a black film in the oil.
Sorry to hear Speedster, good you got to it early. just no good it happened.
sorry to hear that speedzter
Shit mate sorry to hear the bad news on your build. I'm sure the flywheels can be rebuild with a new pin and bearings close to home.
