Well I must say I'm very happy with the performance overall, the cam made a noticeable difference and having the compression restored is great. It starts quickly and has not stalled once, even while warming up. I didn't have to rejet the Mikuni, it seems to be golden.
I really dig the idle it has,sounds much better, makes me grin at a stop light.
Top end is a little loud, probably going to check the adjustable rods just to make sure all is well.
Thanks for asking....

what were the compression #'s before and after the work done? i haven't checked mine in several years, maybe i should do that one of these days.

Interesting about the plus signs in the pistons, I guess mine were a warranty replacement long ago. I think you surprised him with the pics, especially with three pluses, no notches.
i don't know if i believe the +++ meant a warranty replacement. that could be wrong info too.

Yeah I hear ya... old numbers were 135# front , 150# rear if I remember correctly. That info is in my rebuild thread. I haven't done new test since the build, only about 500 miles on it so far but that should be enough I would imagine to get accurate results.
