    never worried, a bit disappointed when it first happened. Having thought about what could have gone wrong and seen it today I can understand what the problem was and not being picked up during the assembly. He has done probably thousands of these things and say's he has never had an issue. He did say he had seen it before once on a shovel motor.
    Definitely knows his stuff, he put a heap of work into this thing so it should be a nice motor, there will be plenty left in it so it should last a long time.

    I really appreciate what you did daddy.
    Cheers

    The real saving grace was that it was only an oil leak and nothing more serious than that.

    Put the beast back together and carry on with the heat cycling process!

    thanks fellows. motor is back in and mostly hooked up, waiting on a new comp, cable for the power vision pro tuner and a new baffle need to press a new bearing into the primary and get the rear tire fixed, it's only flat when I let the lift down though.
    Should be ready to go Thursday morning if nothing else goes to shit.

    Hi Ando, motor itself is coming along nice, still keeping the RPM under 3500 but feels very nice. Runs 53lb oil hot at revs
    The bike on the other hand is not liking me to much, but I will beat it and when sorted it will pay for all the trouble it is giving me once this motor is run in
