I've had very good success with my 61x based ss865 ( http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/104032-61x-scream) and came across a good deal on a Dasa 850 top end and thought....why not?
If it works even nearly as well as my 61x-scream does, I'll be thrilled.
The cases need some pretty extensive mods to support the 850, but in some ways are less severe than the 62T cases. The 61X has a little more "beef" in certain areas than the 62T. Here's a shot of what has to be removed based on using the base gasket as a guide....
The cases were epoxied, bored, and flycut before the porting began. Here's a couple shots of the case porting prior to final finish....
Here's looking down the barrel at how the porting lines up with cylinder...
With many Thanks for Chris at JetManiac for a quick supply of crankshaft and seals, I hope to have it together and running shortly and I'll post results.
