Identify this Riva Cylinder

Hey man, Nice score, SO what are the specs. How many cc is it? Is it just the big bore no stroker? Post some pictures. And if it is just a big bore then the carbs should be fine.

There is a good chance it may just simply be a stock motor with porting done. I didn't get to measure the bore tonight but will hopefully get to Sunday. I don't have a dial caliper or any other measuring tools so its pretty well impossible unless I break out the ruler and do some converting...




I want this ski

Money talks...Although right now I don't really have plans of selling it until I have two running SJs...right now my other one is a couple weeks away from being water ready.
 
Well...Bubba at Riva got back with me today.

He said those are not Riva numbers on the side of the cylinder. So really I have no clue what the numbers mean. I am going to send him some pictures just to make sure its not one of theirs.

Who knows though.

Care to elaborate? Or just gonna leave it as a dbag response?

Im trying to figure out how this motor is setup...not sure what you think is so funny.


I find it funny because of either two things...


A) thats how Riva is now... very hard to get reliable information out of them... I'm not sure if its because different people have run the shop over the years, or just bad records kept, or they just dont care enough to double check

Or

B) someone took the time to carve Riva on the side to guise their own porting and make it sell for a better price.


Like I said before... I would just call Tim.

Thank you for the full response. I appreciate it.

The riva inscription looks the same on this one as it does my other riva cylinder. I don't really see someone going through that much work, but I guess it is possible.

And I apologize. I took it as you were laughing at this thread in general which would have basically meant you were laughing at me.
