    Looking good! - What material do you use? 36A or39B (case hardening) or something similar?

    You should go to some race meetings then, I've seen a couple in the last 5 years
    I was lucky enough to view the cases in person at the Island Classic last weekend, they are awesome and there were two bikes racing that used the replica cases. $8000 AU for a set is pretty good too.

    I have only seen a one TZ750 running on display here in NZ.

    So it was pretty cool to see about ten of them actually racing hard over there. One of them seized three times. One of the bikes running was up around 160hp.

    There will be a few replicas being built now as you can buy everything for them.

    Cheers

    Well Neil left bout an hour ago, I feel a bit better educated for the experience but I think I'd better reread this thread a few times at a minimum. One thing I've decided is I need to finish two projects first before I start to embark on such an ambitious project as making a decent barrel.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Thankyou Dave for the tour of your empire, pity for me I was wisked away early ( probably good for you I think ) by my moderator. Thanks too Google Meagan for finding your place. We didn't get to the machine shop, perhaps next time. Good to see a shed filled with proper stuff, twostrokes.

    That was a video well done, guess you'll have a few more soon.
    Very interested to see how the 'Crecy' style engine will work. Guess the wall thickness of the sleeve will be quite critical, maybe take a bit of juggling?

    The sleeve engine is uniflow scavange, inlet ports at one end and exhaust nearly at the other end of the cylinder. It's uniflow ish.

    I googled sleeve valve and duckworths 78hp 500 came up, also something was mentioned with a complete ring of exhaust ports......
