In the upside down view of the assembled lower end, you can
see that all of the case bolts have been replaced with new, high grade
bolts. They add rigidity to the engine, will never break off, and add to
the looks of the motor. Even the oil pan has been glass blasted. There
are high-strength bolts on the inside also....grade 8 bolts reinforce the
crankshaft. Unlike the original bolts, often weakened by overtightening
from previous clutch work, these clutch spring bolts will not break off
in the clutch hub and could prevent major engine damage. More said about
the clutch on the following page.
The cylinderblock has been cleaned and bored
to 73mm (1105cc). Wiseco 1105cc piston is at left....stock 70mm 1015cc
piston at right. 1105cc is the limit bore for the stock 1000 cylinder.
We often build our street engines to 1075cc (72mm)....right side pic shows
the noticeably thinner remaining wall on the 1105 bore at left as compared
to the 1075 bore at right. 1075 engines leave the option of another overbore
in the future. This engine will be built for maximum horsepower from the
beginning.
Once the rings have all been checked and gapped in
their bores, this cylinder was masked and painted
low-gloss black......gives a nice contrast on the bead-blasted
cases.
