Yeah problems! So the pole i bought is an old x metal pole i guess and the hole the cold fusion turn plate bolt goes through is way bigger than the oe style bushings. the hole is about a half inch bigger than the bushings. so i have no idea what bar adapter was previously used and i guess i will either weld the hole shut and re drill or make a bushing.... dumb..
Yeah! more problems! So blowsion is very vague on their big bore pistons and of course give you no real instructions on what you will have to do to get honda cr 500 pistons to work. They just said here are the sleeves, here are the pistons and you will need this spacer plate too.
First problem the cases need to be bored WAY past the sleeves if you want to not modify the pistons. I did not want to separate my cases pay to have them cut more and then find out they need epoxied or the oil groove in the bottom of the transfers is important. so I cut the bottom of the pistons to the same height as stock 760 piston. Makes more sense to me anyways. Luckily there is a groove about a quarter inch from the bottom of the skirt and i used that as a guide line. Cut off wheel and orbital sander they were flat. I left just a hair of the skirt edge to measure the flatness around the skirt. I took a pic and you can see the faint line where the groove is in the bottom of the skirt.
Next problem with the spacer plate at .125 in and two .020 base gaskets and 42cc ada super bore domes (seadoo 951 domes) the pistons hit the inner part of the domes. LAME. so i added two more base gaskets that brought the squish to outer .048in and toward the inner part of the dome to .035 in. Better still to tight. I had the domes cut to the correct angle to fit the piston and took a tiny extra off Squish is now about .065 outter to .067 inner . barely an angle towards the center. The 4 dumb base gaskets are required to get the port timing decent. Blowsion needs to build a thicker spacer plate and possibly raise the intake ports on the sleeves. But yamaha seems to have it wrong in the first place. stock motors dont even let the piston drop all the way out of the way of the exhaust port. or go to the bottom of the intake ports.
