I'll be rebuilding an engine from the 999S engine that I picked up. I managed to salvage everything but the pistons.
I am going to stroke it with a 66mm or 68mm crank, more likely the 66mm, for some more torque.
Since everything is apart I wonder at things worth doing -
Difference in shift drum between 999S and XX98? (don't need the neutral light to work)
Primary gearing between the 2 & 4 valves engines?
1098 primary gears b/c they are lighter, don't cost much, or are they prone to failure?
I'll turn down the flywheel.
And since I've never run Ti-rods and the lightened crank, is their much of an argument for it over a heaver 66mm balanced crank?
Between a 999S and a 1036/68 what size exhaust system are we looking at? 45mm seems too small even for the 999. Was thinking 52-54mm
Power is not that big of a deal to me. The Time Machine is enough for now, so a properly timed, and squished S engine will be a please gain as is.
