    1052, 1127 and 1157 barrels are all interchangeable, Dot head will fit all of them too, obviously need to use the correct chain / sprockets to suit the crank.

    However, 1052 has 1mm shorter stroke, so barrels are shorter which conversely means if you were to put 1127 barrels on a 1052 crank, you'll lose compression and open up the squish band, robbing you of performance.

    I guess you could get the barrels "decked" to shave 1mm off them, but they might be difficult to sell on if you ever wanted to, as a set of 1127 barrels that are only 58mm stroke might not find many buyers.

    *Edit*

    Not sure how thick a standard base gasket is and whether or not if you had really clean and flat mating surfaces you may be able to do away with it in favor of "form in place gasket" (RTV basically) to regain a bit? 

    This is not correct. All barrels for 1052 cc 1127 cc and 1157 cc have the same heigth. The length of the conrods for 1052 cc are 117.4 mm, and 1127 cc and 1157 cc are 117.0 mm. Therefore, the squish height for 1052 cc is 0.1 mm larger compared to the 1127 cc and 1157 cc engines (theoretlically) .

    The DOT head for GSXR 750 -88/89 are equal to the GSX750F. The difference is the camshafts. GSX750F has shorter duration and lower lift compared to GSXR 750.

    The DOT head comes with higher valve spring stiffness compared to the 1052 cc 1127 cc and 1157 cc engines. The rev limiter is higher for GSXR 750 -88/89 and GSX750F compared to 1052 cc, 1127 cc and 1157 cc engines. The valve stiffness for the DOT head is equal to the Yoshimura valve spring kit for ST-2 cams. The valve springs for the DOT head needs to be shimmed to get the correct seat pressure.

    Dup, do you know if other 1000s models have also the same fittings or is it just a k5 thing

    Same fittings on most of oil coolers for GSXR. The K5/K6 oil cooler has a triangular skape and fits well inside the fairing. It will not work together with Yoshimura headers. The oil cooler will interfere with front wheel.

    Cam covers? The 750 and 1100 slabby covers are definitely different as the 1100 does not have the removable breather thingy that all other covers have. It's cast into the cover.

    And the cover with the removable cover is heavier...

    Do you have anymore info please. I've been considering making something like this for a while & any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, just start cutting and welding. It is not rocket science.

    I know in the past we could do 12.5:1 and run good fuel and it will be fine but I don't have that option - Where I am the only choice is what is in the pump (currently E5 and prob E10 on the way) and no high octane unleaded or any of that.

    Does 12:1 sound like a good goal for regular petrol or should I go lower? I honestly don't know

    Why are you reducing the CR?

    In terms of its octane rating, ethanol has a rating of 113. Fuels with a higher octane rating reduce engine knocking and perform better. Also, almost all gasoline in the US contains 10 percent ethanol. When you mix 10 percent 113 octane ethanol with 85 octane gasoline it increases the octane two points to the normal 87 octane most consumers use. So the higher the ethanol content, the higher the octane. The octane rating for E15 (15% ethanol) is 88 octane and E85 (85% ethanol) is 108 octane.

    The use of ethanol blends in conventional gasoline vehicles is restricted to low mixtures, as ethanol is corrosive and can degrade some of the materials in the engine and fuel system. Also, the engine has to be adjusted for a higher compressive ratio as compared to a pure gasoline engine to take advantage of ethanol's higher oxygen content, thus allowing an improvement in fuel efficiency.

    Stock gsxr1100m motor, RS36 will be best all round performance. Throttle will be heavy to operated though due to the return springs in the RS carbs.

    Gsxr motor will have more top end than the bandit motor.

    Look at your gearing too. If you are running stock 750 sprockets it will run out of puff as you are  geared for 185mph.

    15/48 works really well. Good for a real 155mph

    Totaly agree, the main drawback with Mikuni RS is the heavy return springs. Go for Keihin FCR carbs.

    Ditch the dyna and get an ignitech

    Set your limiter to wgatever you want, programme your own ignition curve, also has quickshifter function and loads of other stuff.

    Uses standard pickup and coils too

    It is the cheapest and best option. Go for coil-in-cap also.

  8. The best way is to "dry build" the engine first without head gasket and measure the squish heigth, valve to piston clearance. Than do the math and go for 12:1 dynamic CR and account for the compressed gasket thickness.
