Sandman,

I ended up putting the Web Cams in. Here's everything I did to the Honda ...

440 Big Bore Kit with 13:1 Compression Piston
Web Cam 479 Grind: Lift = .378, Duration = 274 Degrees.
Web Hardweld Rocker Arms
Web Performance Valve Springs
Web Shortened Valve Guides
LTE Dual Exhaust
Edelbrock 38MM "Doug Eichner" Carburetor

Now, the only problem I see with those cams is that they don't have the compression release. Add the 13:1 piston together with a carb with no choke and you have a dead battery situation pretty quick in the cold weather. So, to combat that, I have one of those Cobra inverters I can get 110 power from the truck and a motorcycle battery charger if I have problems.

I had my mechanic put all that in. He (Chuck) said it pulled a lot like his 686 raptor (stock pipe). I got on it yesterday in his gravel parking lot and it pulled very well. I was surprised. The retail on all those parts was about $1300 dollars and add in about $900 in labor for the installation of the parts as well as the porting the head and boring the cylinder. Thats $2200 for solid power gain that should be just as reliable.

I put my old 39MM Keihin carb on ebay and it sold in the first hour. (I think I listed it too cheap - Oops), and the old Yoshi pipe is also on there. So hopfully that will cut down on the cost for the upgrade.

ok i found out how much oil the ds takes, it's 3.3 quarts and i used rotella diesle oil

 

well i haven't heard off that oil being used before.

 

there is a lot of guys running it in their street bikes, they race alot and say it performs better. all i can say is after we put it in my baja me and chadascrambler raced and i could beat him, he has exhaust, stage3 jet kit, ad now he went to stock exhaust, b4 was mbrp.i beat him with the mbrp exhaust on and now i keep up with him with the stock exhaust on. but i'm thinking bout running amalie 10/30 on my next oil change. a talked to a guy that had spent some time to do his research and he found out it performs better than red line o royal purple.

 

well becareful switching oils all the time some don't mix well and as much as you drain there is still some left in side. you might want find one and just go with it.
