I'm having my top end off due to leaks as well. Will the Diamond Cut alone cause any warpage as described above? will it mess up the stock Flat Black factory Powdercoat? I assume the heads must come apart? Should anything be done to the heads (hot set-up tricks) while they're out? I'm probably doing the 251 cams (no gear drive in this ticking time bomb) and 50 mm SE Throttlebody w/larger injectors. Leaving the stock pistons. Don't want higher compression with this potential grenade! I'll leave the stock oil pump and cam plate for now. I like the stock, non-adjustable pushrods, so those will remain. What about lifters. If the stock are OK, I'd prefer to leave as much stock chit in this thing as possible for my future battle with the MoCo, which seems inevitable! Measuring crank runout first, and from what I hear, I have no reason to be optimistic about that either! Just hoping it's reasonable at this point.

With just a mild hop-up in mind, what are any other must-haves based on what I've stated here? C'mon experts, now I'm finally serious about this. Motor's coming apart next month. Help a brotha out!

SPYDER I also asked the same question. It seems the factory DOES NOT use a heat setting as high as most powder coaters use. I think it is a time thing but not completely sure.

Be Safe

THE DAWG

Mike, I think you and I spoke about this once previously.  But it's been long enough ago I wouldn't swear to it.

There was a concern (voiced by the machinist at Zippers that worked on the jugs) that many powder coaters bake at too high a temp.  Problems can result. 

Can't speak to any others.  But everyone involved in my work seemed of the opinion that Sumax knew what they were doing here and would not be a hazard.  The pistons fit the jugs just fine so, apparently, all was well on that job.  Sumax was slower than 49cc scooter carrying me and Dawg together.  But their work was apparently top notch both in terms of visual appearance and in familiarity with the requirements of what they were working on.
