i ported a 2011 kx 65, kx 85 and kx100 today while all of this was going on and came home to this. Not how i like to come home. What the hell are you guys doing? My builder is this and mine is that. This kind of attitude is counterproductive to what this forum is all about. We're all here to help each other, give advice and solve problems. I've seen cylinders from all of the builders and i changed nothing based on what i saw. I like what i do and my customers like it as well. 442 sent me a motor to rebuild for one of his customers in canada. Did i look at it? Yup. Did i map it?yup. I've been doing this stuff for over 35 years and i don't need to copy anything! Who the hell did i copy when i ported the kx cylinders today? I've got a set of 1976 kawasaki 750 cylinders in the shop for porting and head work. Where did i get the numbers for this? It's very simple. I figure it out. If you want to send your work to denny, please do. He does great work. If you want a dyno sheet with big numbers, go to kennedy. I recommended him to a potential customer today. If you want me to do your cylinder, ship it. Seems like the general consensus among some of you is that i copied someone's work to build a blaster cylinder. Get a clue boys! This is not rocket science and the cylinders i get for a bore job with home porting will prove that. This forum is really starting to turn into a pissing match between some of you. The best advice i can give is to knock it off. We're all brothers and when we start fighting amongst ourselves, we just look like a bunch of jerks. Remember, this is the internet and everyone can see us with our pants down. This stuff just looks like crap. You have many choices when choosing a builder to port your cylinder. All of them are good. Send e-mail, call and make you're choice based on what you hear.
Thanks
