Re: The small "big block" project

I had a similar bike in my early teens. It was a blast until I poured in some methanol. Cruising down the sidewalk I cracked the throttle. The cylinder head blew off and imprinted the seat base with bolt heads. That's what I get for shaving the head, relieving the valves, grinding the cam, and having a machinist weld the piston into a dome shape.
