Big fan of changing that oil often!! Big fan.

I have been watching this thread keep popping up; got curious and just read through for the first time.

It is just me or have I missed the part where there was a build plan? The OP is all over the place and it appears as though if there was a plan somewhere along the line it went south. Like Ntraindavefl, reading through the thread almost gave me a migraine. The thread is so busy, I have no idea how anyone can give any advice; still don't know what is wrong and don't understand the OPs panic. These situations are really pretty simple to sort out and set right but that does require clarity of the objective and patience.

Why would anyone want to give advice when the issue should be between the OP and Hillside; I am pretty sure Scott can offer a solution. Who may be responsible for any additional cost is a separate issue and all should be kept between Scott and the OP.

JMHO but I don't think posting this under the title of "new 107 Hillside build coming" was appropriate. I wish the OP well but would offer the same advice ntraindavefl has offered. Back off, chill out and have a frank man to man discussion with Scott to get the problem sorted out. Scott is in a better position to help than anyone on this forum.

Yeah!!
What he said!!!

I keep telling myself I'm not gonna read anymore, but then I click on it anyway

Seriously, be patient and listen to Scott. Building an engine is a process not a weekend mod, if you wanna do it right. It's about having the right combination of parts that work together well. Throwing together the "biggest" and "best" and "most (whatever you want)" will only result in an empty wallet and a bunch of scrap on the garage floor. Worst of all is there will be a very unhappy rider.

Agreed 100%

Scott is the best source to get you running right..

As stated by many of us . Take your time. It's all about the combo.

and do realize this.. most of us have re-read this thread many times... we are confused on what you want

yes, apparently buy a guy my builder knows well by reputation, already called and talked to the guy, wont have bike till Tuesday, my indy was trying to finish Friday as he's going away for holiday, but I told him not to rush, rather him come back, not stressed out, and finish build the right way, I have a hell of a lot more than the 107 kit going on the bike at this time, he been changing/upgrading parts for 3 weeks now

Tommy,
Back from our annual 1 week vacation now.
Those are our Stage I Heads(they do not go on the flow bench, nor do the guides come out, as per our web site) which you requested, along with our 107" Big Bore kit with new Wiseco Armor Coated pistons with 3mm oil rings. Gaskets, and t/body manifold porting.
Release's..........one of my employee's jumped the gun, on that installation, as the original build was going to be a 107", with a Wood 6.....'member?
The .570 S&S cam was introduced after we had our paperwork prepped, and yes, prior to your parts arriving.
My fault, if there is fault, as not to changing the paperwork, deleting the releases.
We machined and installed the releases, into the heads, at no charge whatsoever, only a plus for you, later, if you decide, to change your mind on the cams.
We could have bored the OE t/body to 50mm, which is all that is really needed, but we needed to stay within the budget constraints, as per our phone conversation, to include free return shipping upon pre pay.
Keep in mind, that the cylinder head intake port ID is 1.710", which is the match to the port ID of the manifold.
4.3 gps injectors should do it, but IF your dyno tuner suspects it neededing more fuel, simply change them at that point.
Scott
