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

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...

That stuff used to be the cylinder liners. Judging by how worn the cylinders were I'd say it sucked dirt in most of the day at practice and the sleeve guy isn't going to have to remove much more material to get the new ones in. Lol

It's ordered along with a bunch of other parts I need for the rebuild.

Time for another engine update...... Block is at the machine shop getting sleeved, the pistons we ordered are scheduled to arrive at the machine shop on Monday and the engine guy and I decided to try out the new Kraft Werks stage 2 cam instead of reusing my BC stage 4 cam so that's on order too and should net me a few more HP vs the old one. If all goes well I expect it to start going back together in about 2 weeks.

I've been slacking on getting it pulled off the crank to give to my buddy but ya, that's still in the works. Been spending most of my free time scrubbing the rest of the engine and trans parts to get them squeaky clean for reassembly.
The only time shifting that quick is a problem is when we do land rush starts like MX and most series have gotten away from that for obvious reasons. When it does happen I put it in auto/sport mode and once I get rolling and through the first corner I go back to manual mode. My trans is programmed to shift slightly below redline in sport mode so it keeps the engine in its sweet spot.

The 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 ?

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.

Have you tried these yet? Do they fit the throttle body plate?
