did you manually draw the solids, or did you use a quick convert tool? I notice that there are some strange iso lines on some of the surfaces but other than that it looks great! This is how you get started doing this. It is a time consuming affair. If you can scan and draw that manifold you can scan and draw a complete motor, its just a matter of time, patients, and persistence. And if you can draw it, you should be able to get a quote on getting it made from any job shop. If you send that mode to CSP my buddy will quote you on a billet cnc machined part. You should ask for a quote on 25 pcs, that is the minimum quanity that can be machined efficiently, any less than that and its a waste of time. I am just curious what it would come out to.

So this happened. The pattern/cavity design is completed. Today we sawed this poor head pipe in half so we could finish our design. Slowly but surely. We will be casting 100 of these head pipes to start with, the foundries minimum for this paticular casting. Expect these to be available in the next few months.

Oh, BTW we designed and have invested in a production sand cast pattern for for this head pipe. So billet is out.

Who would have thought the market would get crowded all the sudden after all these years of neglect! We will be casting head pipes in Ohio and machining them in Kentucky. They will have a full water jacket. The pattern will be delivered to the foundry in roughly 8 weeks. I will post some tooling pics soon. They will be priced competitively.

Noooo
I’m in a bit of a predicament for some cases, had my php cases powder coated and it licoriceed the epoxy now my cases are licoriceed. Was hoping some billet cases were available
I might be able to repair those cases for you?Noooo
If not, can build a replacement set
PM me direct for quote

I talked to him a while back. He is building high end drag racing parts and put the pwc stuff on the back burner.

it was the heat from putting them in the oven, didn’t know there was screws in the epoxy and they expanded more than the epoxy and popped the epoxy above the screws, also lifted the epoxy in the outside voids

Ah that makes sense, way more money there. His would would of been an absolute asset to the jetski community if he stuck through it. Mannn imagine the parts he could supply the community.. oufff I wish

Or he could spend the same effort on something that pays significantly more. Problem our sport faces. Luckily people like the guy doing the PJS stuff, torrent, and Waxhead are keeping parts availability alive.

DASA, the overseas guy MX100, I think some other overseas guy, Erickson maybe. They are in the $3k range though. That epoxy is easy to fix. Just clean it up and fill with JB weld
