Not sure what happend to my post? but here it is again
well, i pulled the car apart last night to find 3 of my harland sharp rockers cracked (i cracked 2 last year as well) a nice eyebrow in one of the pistions, its the one where the gasket blew so im guessing it got water in ther and the valve touched the pistion. its not bad, i can use the pistion still no problem, but im pretty sure it bent the valve a little bit.
so im going to send the heads back to TEA, have them go threw them, fix anything that needs a fix test the springs etc.
but between that and the stupid rockers, im all done, im going to save a few bucks and get a set of t+d or jessle's for next year. not worth the time and money for me this season seeing as theres only 3 more weeks of racing up here and i plan on new rings/bearings anyway, i'll just get the motor out now and take it apart, get to ordering the parts and maybe be ready first thing in the spring. time to dig out the sleds!!!!!
i'll try to get a pic of the pistion, and im thinking of adding a 2nd stage for next year, i'll get pics together as it happens

i could get it back together but it would cost me $1500 for new rockers, huge money to over night the heads back and forth plus all the agrivation to get it back together for one or two races then rip it all apart to freshen it up.

True congrats on the 8.70 btw! I'm hoping to get back up there with Timmy so we can tweak it a bit. That and alittle cooler air hopefully I can get real low 11.6's or even 11.59 would be awesome don't get me wrong I'm wicked happy with 11.66 on just n/a. All chromoly race suspention next spring and a few squirrel mods
Yea trying to keep it a sleeper as far as looks well maybe not with DR and skinnies lol!, but it definately doesn't sound like one lol! not many stock things left atleast the 10 bolt and tranny are still holding together for now

How is that kit? I got an xr 50 i was thinking of selling but if I could make it street legal it would be worth keeping and building over the winter.
I registered it as a moped. Which is <50CC and one speed. Mines 88cc, and obv. 3 speed. So we just cruise around and make it look legit. When realistically they are 50+MPH bikes. Fun in the corners, holding it wide open on backroads haha.
Got my new sprockets on the way, so it should do near 60MPH
Honestly, this is the best money I've ever spent on a hobby. It's cheap, and rediculously fun if you have a couple people with them. Plus the retarded gas mileage

I paid around $380 for it. I think it retails around $450, so it's expensive. The kit fits great, and definately quality.

matt, depending on how busnes goes this year, i was thinking i might go turbo next year. i probably wont because i can put my car back together for short money, pistions block crank etc are all still good so all i need is rings and bearings but we'll see.
