Almost done.

Last one.
All nos oem parts were used in this rebuild including a new crank, the cylinder is at 80.25mm and was ported by Hoser.

Wow! Nice stash of parts! Your build is beyond top quality. Couldn't think of a better Christmas present. Merry Christmas to you!

Thank you very much Sir. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Awesome thread, great pictures! Looks amazing!

Sweet! I can smell the new OEM parts. You are one lucky guy, your wife lets you assemble in the house and put premix and Engine oil in Corelle bowls. Very nice to see your build. Maybe one of the last with a new OEM crank. What are your plans with this Engine? What are you using for reeds? I also noticed LT on each case half in red sharpie. What does that represents?

Did Hoser recently work on the porting, perhaps dropping it off when/if he was out west for the holidays, or was it something he did in the past?

Thank you very much Sir.


Hello Rich good to hear from you, this is my LT (long travel) race Engine, I am using 1990 oem reeds on this Engine.
This cylinder is the original off of my wife's pilot, Hoser did the work on it a couple of years ago.

Yes I am a lucky guy, my wife is the very best. Love her to the moon and back, she knows these engines can not be built out in the cold garage, only in the warm house for these parts.

Yes I said engines, I am building 2. The second one will be something I have never seen done. I have lost my mind but very much love doing this.
Here is a teaser pic. just for you Rich. 98% all new oem, the cylinder hidden in the corner is new but very very special from back in the racing days. Secret for now. Hehe

Wow Steve you have worked hard getting all that together. Impressive!

I was hoping Hoser dropped it off. Was hoping he was still active with rebuilds and his pilot.

Can't wait to see the rest of your build.

Beautiful work sir!!

that's insane. Some seriously expensive parts right there.

Thank you Gentleman, I have not jumped off of a cliff in so long I forgot what it was like so you know I just had to jump. Lamans term:: screw it lets do it.

Good Day Rich, you have NO idea. I still can not believe I was able to do this.
The parts came from a lot of places, over a lot of time hunting them down, one Friend in particular really made this possible with the super rare new Engine parts.


I am putting my LT back together for a race in March, I keep getting pulled away from working on it but I will post some progress soon.
