A Serious Sight For Sore Eyes....At last !!!
 

Those of you that were at the DSC Track Day at Cadwell on May 7th 2004 will no all about my troubles..

Well after nearly 12 months to the day, my 748R motor was returned back to me this evening almost ready to be put back in the rails.

Have to say I'm pretty bluddy chuffed...Thought I may not ever see it again:(

Basic rundown of the resulting work is as follows:

Ducati Corse crank and pistons - from a certain World Champ's bike
Ducati Corse Pankl rods - from another certain World Champ's bike
Unspecified head work
Cams properly dialled in
Corse factory primary gear and water pump with oversized impeller
Clutch - TBA but looking damn exciting too (once a certain person's finished with it)

Displacement is now 777cc due to bigger throw on the crank Vs OEM item (2mm head gaskets made to order).

This little beauty should be a different engine entirely to what I last rode...can't wait :D:D:D

Have to say a big thank you to Stewart and Guy at NME - stars the pair of 'em.

:lol::lol: LOL Simon,

1st impressions whilst moving it across the garage carpet are that compression's off and rebound could do with a tweak or two.

At least I'll get me pound coin back when I return it to Morrisons.....:D

Halleluyah! Anything that takes this long to cook, better be good. It sounds like it is.

Gis a shout if you need any help.

Run in nicely ready for TA4 then Guy??
