Dave, what kind of piston/cyl clearance do you run with these kits? I'm
assuming they were cast iron sleeves...

| What I do is remove the metal rings(carefully) around the 1000 gaskets pushrod holes.Then assembly the top end in the usual matter.Be sure to use |
| gasket sealer such as permatex super 300.Not too much.Torque the heads in the proper pattern at 5lbs at a time to 32lbs.Let it sit for a day.Then after 40 or 50 easy miles and 4 0r 5 complete heat up cool down cycles,retorque the heads.Do this again at 200 mi. Others may have |
| opinions on this but I have done three 949cc Eldos.this way with no problems. Dave _________________________________________________________________ Surf the Web without missing calls! Get MSN Broadband. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp |
