This flywheel is definitely getting sent to my buddy Brian while everything is apart so it can get put on a diet to let the new engine rev quicker....

great news!!!!Other than the cylinders, pistons and rings I'm not seeing any other damage inside the engine. I'm very happy about that!!!

Any idea what that stuff is between the rotors?Engine block has been shipped to the machine shop and will arrive Monday. Hopefully they can get right to it and get it back to me quickly but if not I may have a plan B that involves "borrowing" a block thats already sleeved and ready to go in exchange for mine when it's done.
Pulled the oil pump housing apart the other night to clean and inspect it and found enough wear in the housing to make me want to order a whole new assembly with the rest of the parts I need...

Oh hell yeah!!! Replace it before you have another failure because of it!! That's a no brainer!!!!Engine block has been shipped to the machine shop and will arrive Monday.

great update - u cutting the flywheel at all - jeez this engine/tranny seems to rev quick in gears 1 thru 3 already
nice lobesThe Kraft Werks cam is a super nice piece. It's a billet cam core and not cast like the stock or BC cam cores so that's pretty fancy! It also looks like it's ground on a smaller base circle than the BC cam to gain the extra lift height without modifying rocker geometry.....

any thoughts to cobble up an Africa twin air filter housing or similar or just make a wire cage up ?So..... I took the car to a local MX track this morning to run some easy practice laps to see if I can drive with 1.5 hands and I killed it. 😟

Apparently the air filter collapsed and got sucked down into the velocity stack. Once that happened it sucked the filter oil out in those two spots and started inhaling dust. I didn't notice a problem until it was honed at least .030 or .040 over so now I get to pull the motor, disassemble it and get the block sleeved on top of having to rebuild it.

W.T.F I should have just stayed in bed this morning.....
The africa twin air filter housing is a terrible design and huge. I don't know how it sucks enough air to make the power the Twin does.any thoughts to cobble up an Africa twin air filter housing or similar or just make a wire cage up ?

Have you tried these yet? Do they fit the throttle body plate?I also ordered a pair of 2019 Honda Africa Twin throttle body boots to experiment with. If it moves the TB up and vertical enough it should give me enough room to put an air box around the intake along with a real air filter. 😁
