Well, I got up this morning and headed straight to the garage.
The engine is OUT of the bike, and the top end is completely off it. I couldn't see any timimg marks on the case, so I made one when I had everything lined up. Small notch to judge by. The timing mark has to be in a straight line with the cam, with the timing mark on the cam to the left of the bolts at 90* to TDC.
What I want to do is install a high compression piston, port and polish the intake and exhaust runners in the head, check the deck and head for trueness and install with a new set of gaskets. Performance CDI, coil and stator to make sure I am getting optimum spark.
This engine is going to RUN when I am done.
I need to measure the piston and wrist pin and go on the hunt for a piston. Any help here would be GREATLY appriciated as I do not know of any reputable shops online to get performance parts from.
