Just finished boring 4 sets of Yamaha Banshee Cylinders, all with Weisco Pistons. Desert season in full swing. Bored, chamfered, finished honed .003 race clearance.

Another boring day, Bored out a couple of Twin Cam Harley cylinders from 3.750 to 3.895. That's makes 95 cubic inches. I use Jim's tourqe plates with gaskets to bore and hone all Harley cylinders to insure a perfectly round bore when the heads are tourqued down. Cylinders can distort as much as .002 out of round when heads are tourqued down without the use of tourque plates. I use on the threads and under the bolt heads and tourque the fasteners in 5 lb increments until the factory recomended settings are reached in the factory tourque pattern.

Today's fun boring out a Suzuki LT250 and reworking the squish band for higher compression without detonation. A little here and a little there all add up to more power.

Today's been a boring day LOL, bored out and early Yamaha 125 tri moto cylinder and a couple of Yamaha RD400 barrels. Note that 1 piston and cylinder has an asterisk marked on them. I did this because that piston is .0002" smaller than the other piston so I honed it accordingly. The accuracy of the Sunnen Precision Honing machine is amazing.
