Dropped my bike off yesterday for a 103 build with the following components.
1) Tw6-6 cam by Woods
2) SE valve springs (dealer talked me into these saying it was low cost and a good time to do this with the heads off) Not sure if needed
3) SE clutch springs ( same as above dealer talked me into this )
4) SEST
5) Stage one a/c
6) manual compression releases
Those are the components I know I am getting from the build list but there are a few items I failed to get details on. The 103 bore is one, not sure if they are planning on doing machine work or ordering new jugs. I am not sure this really matters as long as the clearances are correct.
The second thing is we never talked pistons other than size. Should I go with the SE cast flat top piston or go with a SE forged piston. If I understand correctly the forged piston will bump the compression to 10-5-1 with no head work? Keep in mind the cam I am using, I think it works with both but does it work better with higher compression? And how would higher compression effect the noise level, fuel I run, reliabilty of the bike? I know these are bolt in cams with good results at stock compression, so why bump it up?
The parts will not be ordered until Tuesday so I have time to firm up details and make changes if necassary.
Thanks for any input
