absolutely beautiful. i am in awwwwwe.
i plan on spending a small fortune with WDK soon. i really need to call Mr. Curry and have a talk soon.
regardless of a few bad comments/customer service issues i read about, the quality just cannot be beat or overlooked. not enough to scare me away.

It's cool to see oring grooves in the manifold. I wish every single aftermarket piece used o-rings.

i agree.
i have limited experience with them but so far, so great... i have a local store that sells boxes upon boxes of oring material.
just use superglue to make it as one for a circle/dome/head (thanks rickstar for that trick).

That is yet anouther good thing about the 66e. It is pretty much all O-rings. The reed cages have o-rings, so does the flywheel cover and now the head. From a gear head stand point it is priceless if you take thing apart frequently. Not saying that I take things apart just fro the hell of it.............but if I did :ugh: its a plus :shhh:
I am running a different set of reed stuffers in this set up as well. Needs a little modifications but I think they will work out well.

I bought and entire motor on ebay with twin factory pipe dry pipes. Parted everything I did not need out and ended up with about 800 out of pocket for the MSD, crank, cases and misc parts.

I sold the 66e cylinders that came off the motor I bought and purchased this set of 66v cylinders from Jeff. He sent them out to be bored and replated.

i think my old 800 motor is floating around somewhere it had dry pipes and 50mm carbs on it.... i sold it to someone and they were supposed to use the motor in a first gen x-jet. i

Smokin' deal. Plus you are making WAY more power for half the cost of a Lamey Stroker!!! Very impressed.

ive done alot to my ski already but how much of a diff will a motor like that make? i dont even know what it would be like.. all i know is going from my 550 to my 701 was like HOLY EFFING CRAP power diff.. would it be like that from 701 to 927?

The 66e has a stroke of 78mm. That is the equivilent of a 10mm stroker crank in a 62t motor. That translates into better torque which is great for freestyle. The torque is what really is going to yank you and should be the big difference between the two powerpalnts. I went from a 701 to a 780cc standard stroke lamey cylinder and was blow away by the difference in just a cylinder swap. I am quite anxious to run this motor and feel the difference. Just doing the math I know this package will throw down some impressive numbers. And it is doing it in almost stock form which is a big deal with me now a days. I don't want a exotic package
