You could have a head specially made to go inside the cylinder 4mm, that way you don't ruin the jug if this doesn't work. This whole thing will raise the exhaust port, which lowers bottom end power and raises top end, if done right. The intake port timing will be affected as well, so you will have to carve out the bottom of it and lower the top with jb weld. Search that book of yours about piston port timing, and get a measurement tool for the degrees of rotation.

Did a few things tonight

<< POSTED MY FIRST VIDEO ON YOU TUBE FOR YOU GUYS!!!>>

Finished up with crank washed and cleaned it, applied WD-40 to everything except the screw holes and screws to get rid of any moisture.
Upgraded the screws from cheese head screws (original) to stainless steel allen head screws.

Applied split washer and a good amount of blue thread locker to each screw before tightening with hand tools. Now that is one happy looking crank!!!

Here is a way to safely remove the bearing shields without damaging the bearing it self
First take a knife and gently pry up the shield by twisting the knife not leveraging the knife you’ll break the tip off in the bearing (ask me how I know that)

Then use needle nose pliers to remove the shield (remember to only remove one shield for each shielded bearing)



Why did you remove one of the shields??
