I posted pics of my engine about a month or so ago and everyone liked the finished product. I just put the final finishes on the lower half of the engine. After breaking in the engine, I had to take the front tin and fan housing back out to fix an oil leak from the oil pump. All finished now so here’s the pics of everything done with 0 leaks now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Once I get the carbs tuned in, I’ll post a video of the engine running so you all can hear the exhaust. It’s very subtle and quiet at idle, can’t want to hear it ringing out on the pipe! Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

@brant
Makes sense… I don’t have any low spots in any of the hoses. Whatever oil residue that remains in either of the hoses, would drain either back into the heads or into drain bottle below the breather. That is why I looped them high on the firewall. Still open to changing it if it will promote health for my engine. @barefoot I make all my fiberglass pieces and carbon fiber bits. I built custom motorcycles for years before cars. Used to make custom fairings and lowers for different bikes. And the exhaust has 2 mounting points, with both places having rubber isolators. One of them is on the first bend out of the exhaust by the 02 sensor, and the other is above the can that you can’t see. It’s Very Solid. Didn’t want vibrations to crack the header down the road. The red looks great! I thought about doing mine in the Olympic blue, but I thought the black would hide small chips and dings down the road better. And now that I had to pull half of it back apart to fix the leak at the oil pump, I’m glad I did. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
