Im not sure if you already bought piston kits or not, but the Jetmaniac ported top end is a good option for you. I probably wouldnt waste my time with GroupK

I already placed a huge order with Jetmaniac which includes 83mm Pro-x pistons but I really didn't want to drop the $500+ for a ported kit, I'm sure its an amazing value but I'm already burning holes in my pockets with this build lol.

So today I made some decent progress. I cleaned my carbs and they are ready for paint and rebuild. I also got my cylinder head, flywheel cover, FP manifold, and some more of the cylinder cleaned, taped and blasted.

What media are you using for blasting?

Glass bead. Everything is getting powder coated and all critical surfaces are double layer duct taped.

Looks great. I am thinking I might have to blast mine now while I have her apart.

Thanks Quinc; that was my thought too. And it'll make things so much nicer to work on in the future. Hard part now is choosing colors lol

Why arent you blasting the inside of bpipe manifold?

Once i get my gaskets, I plan on matching all my ports to the manifolds and gaskets, so I didn't see the point right now. Plus ive read into porting a lot and seems the going concensus for best flow is rough surface on the intake side and smooth on the exhuast.

Finally got that damned Bendix bushing out of the lower case 
9/16 tap, bolt, 1" nipple, some washers, and she came out perfectly with no damage to the case.

You should of just sent your cylinder to jetmaniac for bore/hone. His machine shop does top notch work.
Build is lookin good.

Thanks @JetManiac! So excited to start reassembling.
@Yami-Rider, i had planned to send to JetManiac but unfortunately their machine shop is swamped at the moment.

So ill admit i didnt choose the nicest day here in Minnesota (-5F) to go out into an unheated shop and pull my pump assembly. What should have been a simple twenty minute job turned into two toe and face freezing hours that ended with me tying a rope around my pump, the other end to my trailer, and proceeding to slide my ski forward at mach 2 to yank out my insanely seized driveshaft....
So ive determined my bearings in the pump and midshaft are great, finally some good news... and the impeller looks new i believe its from an 08 superjet?? It has 6BA stamped on the side.
Still havent started hull mods unfortunately, however i did start porting my cases. I started with doing gasket matching and did a little intake porting. Still lots to go as i was taking it easy. Something inherently creepy about taking chunks out of your crankcases for the first time lol.
