no no . he is good you want to wash down your new rings before they seat ? you dont ride over 3000rpm for break in. This guy has built lots of motors. He I a retired Navy aviation mech, he put thousands of lives in the sky on his motor knowledge. I stand behind him. I know what I'm dong and he knows what he's doing. We had a long talk about internet chat. I just came on here to sell my PC5, should have left it that way.

"I just came on here to sell my PC5, should have left it that way." Yes, you should have.
I will never waste my money on porting and polishing again. I paid $1000 to have my Buell heads done. I had bigger valves installed as well as better springs. That was just for the machine work. They were beautiful-a work of art. I probably spent over $2k after labor and dyno time. The result? 1.5 HP. I was like you got to be f'in kidding me. What i didn't mention up front is that the shop that did the labor/dyno told me I was wasting my money when I told them I was going to send the heads out. Never again. The mfg's actuall know what they are doing.
I think we can all agree, everyone has their own opinions.Mine I have just learned to keep to myself on here. Doesn't matter what I think.
Matt and I are good freinds and he knows what I am doing all through this build. We keep each other posted through texting mostley to keep out controversy. I have carfully chosen all my mechanics/parts/machinists info and I have built some motors too. Paladin knows his stuff too. We had a little issue over a ring set, but that is water under the bridge in my book. If you guys choose to run your new build to redline on a dyno and then run a permanant a/f mix immediatly, then do it, I dont care. Feel free to come back and talk about your blown gaskets and poorly sealed rings too. Like I said, this is the internet and lots of talk happens here, good and bad info too. Smart remarks and insults are a way of life on internet forums. All of my machinists just about swung at me when I mentioned the internet. they despise the internet forums. To them this is a opinionated bunch of malarky. Yo guys know what I have done for this build and the controversy behind it. Totally rediculous to say the least. I did the internet postings to let you guys know that this can be done without following the preset standards of ONE company. Yet, now I would just suggest using that particular company. There is not enough interest or want/willfulness to be a hot rodder among us. I have the STREET PORT done and a full serdi valve seat, my motor is powerfull, all 3 hp.
