Zhango... I've met JP once or twice and I'm sure he meant that in the nicest possible way and/or he's secretly envious of your technical know-how.

Black Bob... 'Greedy' you say? You should see him when there're biscuits about!

Thanks Thuli but it's fine - in fact JP has just made a very knowledgeable post about ECU remapping (a bit nerdy perhaps?)
None of us know everything but if we all share the little bits of knowledge that we have then we all benefit - many posts are opinion anyway and life would be boring if we all agreed.

If I squint really hard, I can make that sound like an invite.

You evidently don't know then?



Or was that intended to be rhetorical?

A crank has been located and bought and a deal has been struck around some upgrade/repacement parts. I'll update in a few weeks when there's progress to report.

Just try squeezing 2 trikes and 3 bikes in a single garage for a giggle

That really is a 3D jigsaw puzzle

Picked the heads up this evening.







Slight improvement after pickling in some nasty chemicals, just about ready to paint...





they're shipping to the tuner in the morning.

I dropped the cases off for blasting while I was picking the heads up





they should be done in a week or so

Heads look good - my hobby is old classic bikes with unpainted engines and I use an old Baby Burco boiler with hand washing powder for bare aluminium heads but I like the look of yours so what was the chemical used and does that remove the paint as well?
You're not going to blast the inside of the cases as well as outside surely?
