Default Getting Closer

Andrews 57's came in yesterday.
Have S & S 107 kit Jugs & CP Pistons.
Almost new 103 ACR heads with the harness.
Stage II to do on them only another $850 plus shipping.
You'd think someone up here would want to do that(head work).
AIM VPC
Stiffer spring
New Tune and that should about do.

Send those heads to WFO Larry for his Stage 2 CNC work.
I'm getting ready to tear into my bike soon. It would be interesting to compare notes. I bet we'll come out pretty close.

We have cores, semi-completed, but our turn around time is very good.
All of our seat and guide work is performed on our Winona-Van Norman PH2000, using Serdi/Goodson tooling with Mondello cutters, over carbide pilots, and flow tested/checked on our SuperFlow 600 bench.

Not in a real big hurry. Winter is still here in South Dakota and by the looks of it has no intention of going anywhere soon.

The heads that I have are so nice I want to make sure that I get the same ones back that I send.

I don't want to participate in an exchange program.
