Looks like still not a sleeve on the bore.

Are the o-ring grooves welded and filled, or just epoxied?

Interesting two-stage squish are on the head, it looks like.

Yeah, that's plating for sure. His web page says plating and that's what he delivered. Considering he did all that work and had to send my cylinder out for re-plating, his turnaround time was awesome. (Yes, I am 100% sure that is my jug and head).

You can see the remnants of the grooves, and that the studs are sticking up higher above the surface than stock. Clearly he is machining the cylinder deck down just enough to make it flat. That's only about 3mm. I'm sure he is using a piston with a shorter "pin-height" to compensate for the deck height change. That's probably saving a little piston weight to compensate for the increased diameter. Seems to me, that's how his pistons can "weight the same as the stock piston".

I noticed that dual squish angle too. That's the race-gas head, so I don't know what the pump gas head looks like, but it would be interesting to see how they compare, and if these are different for my mid/top porting vs the broad/smooth porting.

I have the pump gas head, Mid-top, dual squish angle also.

Got my 144 back today and installed it. Started up 3rd kick, no choke. +1 for Eric. Pulls pretty good. But its hard to compare because i was on my 450 all weekend. Ill have a better idea once i get it in the dirt on the track. So far i only took it up and down the street. Jetted it back to stock and dialed the air screw. I think i might try some leaner jetting. I feel that i should be pulling a little harder up top. Any advice?

Heres the kicker: Its already installed and running, and i havent even paid for it yet.... He is a very trusting guy! I told him i wanted to PayPal him the money, and he said he would email me an invoice. This was last Tuesday. If he doesnt email me soon, im just going to call him again.

But over all im happy with my EG experience. He definitely throws in a lot of extras, and doesnt really go by his website pricing. So if anyone thinks hes out of budget, call him and im sure he will work with ya.

Anyone have a rough idea on the cost difference, shipping and what not, to send the entire 125 engine to Gorr vs cutting the case yourself?
