Hey Paco-
The tranny is a complete tranny. I will do as you suggest. Like I said before though, I am heading out for a 6 week hiatus to FL for military. I would haul the bike down as well but I have no place to put it to work on it. So in the end, this project is waiting till Nov 1 when I get back to WI. Besides, lifting an engine in and out of your frame by yourself doesn't sound like too much fun...Will
P.S. Primary is still for sale. I am asking 450 + shipping. It is brand new and they are going for over 900. Half price to the first taker!

Put,
I had a tick in the top end that was not the same as the clanging noise that was there. Had my friend take it a part and moved the tire slow and the lifter dropped off and did not travel the way the front did. Replaced the front 2 lifters and problem solved. Ignition problem was easy as the bike started so easy and then all of a sudden I had to fight with it to get it running. Also I had pinging bad and had retarded the timing to fix the issue and then it got worse. Good thing was that Ultima stood behind it. I am suprised at the lifter but just glad I decided to tear into it and found an issue. I think the ignition problem is common and the lifter is a fluke.
2 into 1 should be hear tomorrow and I can't wait to see what more this motor has got. : )
Look forward to seeing some pics of your upgrade.

I have a Crane HI4 that I used on my 110 sitting on the shelf, had some issues with it but it might be worth a try since I already have one. Or maybe give the S&S IST ignition another try, which is also on the shelf (beside the Crane).

I was running it in my 110 S&S and couldn't get it to stop pinging, if I backed the timing off enough to prevent the pre-ignition then it was too retarted at idle and would overheat. This was not the fault of the ignition but probably the 110 is over 11/1 compression, I even bought the S&S IST ignition and had the same problem with it. This was running 94 octane fuel with Polished and ported heads.
