    So you are using 'evidence' from a car, two cylinder head , modified for excessive boost against a 4 cylinder head with normal studs and torque fasteners - talk about comparing oranges and bananas!

    Just saying that I find it easier to bench shim heads after they have been overhauled ( unless they are screw and locknut adjusters ) be it car or bike heads I'm doing at the time.

    Apologies to the OP if this is going off topic.

    Half the battle is resisting touching up a coat while it's still tacky. Each coat 'flats out' as it dries. Make sure the paint is bone dry before touch ups or second coats.

    Cheers Jaydee, will resist the temptation until each coat is dry

    Any recommendations for a semi gloss black enamel paint which actually works and  lasts - a lot of the decent older paints seems to have gone all eco friendly and dont last.

     

    Clutch Brake Chinese hidraulic opinion

    My mate bought a pair of them for his GSX750 - bad mistake - he had to rob the brake master cylinder off my B12 project so we could make it down to

    the Ace Cafe for Blue Haze Day.

    There was no way at all it would bleed up - we are both in the motor trade and tried all the usual tricks, bench bleeding/vac bleeding/leaving it overnight with the level cable tied back etc etc.

    It was eventually launched into the corner of the workshop !

    Looks pretty but one POS.

    Stick with OEM is my advice.

    Quality boost gauges do people use?

    I've got this one. Bought it to match the dynojet wideband gauge. It's mechanical and needle shakes like hell, I only get decent readings when bike is at full boost. Thing was like 6x the money of the previous glycerine filled one....

    Sounds like you need to put a restrictor in the boost signal pipe near to the gauge to damp the needle if its shaking.

    I have EFE cylinder block sleeved with B12 barrels and Busa pistons. Piston to bore clearance is 0,05mm ( 0.0020" ).

    Thanks Blower1

    What sort of boost are you/will you be running on your setup with that P/B clearance on the standard factory forged busa pistons ?

    If your bike is up and running, do you get any piston slap from cold until the pistons expand with heat ?

    Thanks and sorry to the OP for jumping on their thread.
