What have I brought

[dirky]

Hi

ive just taken the head off a slingshot 1100 engine  I brought last summer. I had noticed the head was  slightly off centre.  

Turns out the locating pins are missing as the bores have been enlarged so the pins won’t fit. Bore size is  77 mm.  

Any clues on What have I brought here..

1052 on the side of the barrels?

[jameskat]

D shaped dowels are fitted to bandit 1200 barrels, not sure what else.

It has 1127 on side of barrels. Not looking for a special. Just hoping I haven’t brought a lemon.

I found a pic of a slingy  barrel on the net with  round dowels but I’ve now found another with d shaped so looks like it’s standard.  Good news

So have you got an 1127 barrels with 1156 liners and pistons? 

[jameskat]

As far as I am aware the 1052 should have 76mm pistons as standard, 1127 should have 78mm pistons as standard, 1156 should have 79mm pistons as standard.

re-measured at 78mm so standard 1127 . never seen a head with d shape dowels. thats what threw me.

finish stripping and get it down the cleaners.

cheers for the advice.

wheres the best place to go for a full gasket kit. any recommendations

All of the GSXR type engines had D dowels, changed from the tube type used in the GSX family.

If you can afford it a Cometic gasket set is worth paying for but get OEM oil drain tube O rings - use nothing else! Any of the decent tuners / engine builders should be able to source quality gaskets.
