There is even a 850 kit available for it using sp370 suzuki pistons.
There was one guy who was stiffed by one of the people that do overbore/rephase stuff, not sure if he posed on this site or one of the others.
I'd advice caution and not send in large amounts of $.
Cool.
Srinath.

Same here. You should get the guide whether you want to port your head or not, it is VERY helpful. Just got in my valves and guides, waiting on the new springs then I can do final assembly on the head and be ready for the motor tear-down.

It would be nice to post, but hardly fair to the author or those of us who paid dearly for the head work and the book. That said, Craig is a great source and answers questions after the sale
