What Cylinders / Pistons are you running?? Any "Piston slap" noise??
According to my build sheet its Axtell Flattop Stoker Pistons pt#800870C and Cylinders pt#292-315. T-Mann stg2 heads, "crank work" H-rods,trued, balanced, welded., 625G cam, Timken inserts, bla bla bla. I haven't noticed any piston slap, scoped the cylinders(looked good), compression and leak down was good. my guys are kinda scratching there heads as to the oil consumption.

Sure sounds like a wonderful day Ed. Enjoy for all of us. They said we would make mod 50's today, I don't believe that happened. Goes downhill fast after tomorrow, highs in the 30's. All is good though... started tearing bike down this afternoon.

'Glad to hear that you're finally getting into it. ;D

Very interested to see how it comes out :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

Did I see somewhere that you are going with the Kury 24Ds ??

Yes, I think they will work well for what I am after. 117, 24D cams and a set of Sachs heads. Time will tell. With all the cooler weather setting in I should have plenty of time...lol. Now if I lived in Fl.....lol.

Morning Update; 56,xxx on the Bike, 35,xxx on the Build, 5,700 on the Cylinders, Pistons, Compensator "refresh".

Even though I promised "way back when" to report "Good :bananarock: Bad :'( or Ugly :nervous:" in this Thread, I didn't want to Post on this until we had a "resolution",,,

For the first 1900 miles on the Revolution Performance Cylinders/Pistons/Rings "refresh" there was some evidence of blow-by with the break-in dino Oil and used maybe 1/4-1/3 qt in 1900 miles,,, I operated the Bike as traditional break-in,,, varying RPM, occasionally loading / unloading the rings, <3K RPM or so, occasionally a blast to 4k, no stop & go, etc,,, keeping an eye on Dakota Digital Oil Temp Gauge (mostly in the 230s, no higher than 240)... For a lot of Bikes, this amount of Oil Consumption could be considered normal, or even good,,, but not for this Bike... So I sent Mark at Oasis Cycles some Bore Scope pictures of the Pistons and the CCP of 191-192... He agreed with my assessment (Oil Control Rings) and "let me make some phone calls,,, I'll be seeing them at Cinci, (The Easyriders Trade Show) and I'll get back with you" ... No big deal for me as the Bike is as Strong & Quiet as ever... In the meantime, I changed the Oil to Mobil1 / K&N Filter and continued to ride it...

At first, (before having a "face to face" with Andrew of Revolution Performance) , Mark came back with; "I'll stand behind the Pistons / Rings / Labor, all you have to pay is co$t on S&S Cylinders if you want to go that route, S&S will Warranty their 117 Kit for 2 years, Parts & Labor Nationwide " I figured that was fair as RP Warrantied / Re-Coated the original Nicasils (even though the Nicasil appeared to have no degradation) at no charge to me...

I know this goes against conventional wisdom :nixweiss: but the Blow-by and Oil Consumption seem to have ceased over the next 900 miles... I relayed this to Mark when I dropped the Bike off at Oasis Cycles to have the Michelin Commander IIs Mounted, a Redline Shockproof Leak on the Baker DD7 repaired, and (possible) replacement of the Cylinders / Pistons / Rings...

To be Continued...

Sure glad your still posting on this Ed, its been a help to me. I killed a half hour the other night looking through 21 pages to find the part number for the Alto clutch part number. Sure glad it was there.

Hope the FL sun is treating you well

Harry that is so not right...lol.   :2vrolijk_09:  We are actually scheduled to tune Sunday now, so yes I am bouncing off the walls. Don't tell anyone but it will probably get loaded in the trailer tomorrow afternoon and head to Dallas Saturday.

Between your and Ed's endorsement I guess the Alto's will be my next purchase.

Sorry Ed, didn't mean to drift off in your thread

Oh yea Christmas is coming.... :huepfenjump3:

As for the clutch I am stuck with the SE unit that is in there. I hope that it works well enough to get us through the tune. Then I will have to start gathering whatever tools are needed to make a clutch change. Just hoping Sunday goes well

David,
I highly suggest upgrading the Clutch before the Dyno Tune,,, Clutches will slip on the Dyno way before they slip on the street...
