Need to get some cardio in. Sounds crazy but a little cardio give you some energy.

You convince one of those rice scooter galls to get an old pan?

Right now for me it's heat. Around 105° today and I'm a bit behind, so we worked today. After being in it most of the day (we start real early) there's not much motivation to do stuff when I get home. I have a couple of things I need to do to the bike, just don't feel like fooling with it. Probably hit it early in the morning while it's cool...

You running these through a flow bench?

Used to do a fair amount of inline 4's, Suzi's or Kawi's till I sold the bench, hard to match by eye.

No sealing needed between the ports?

Looks nice though.

Takes time to do them right, although now they're using the programmed mills to do a lot of them.

Can you read a flow chart? Kirby Apathy did my heads and been told by many he did a great job but I no nothing about port and flow. Cant wait to see how nice it will be to have worked over heads on a bike. Always kept my heads stock.
