Turbo kit is my 2tk mile ultra plenum cooled RCC, stage 2, rods, pistons, valves, springs, ecu tuned with RCC map, 1 to 1 reg. The bike was spot on for 25k miles, and ran perfectly when torn down. Head gasket had developed a slight leak and was pressurizing the coolant system. I trapped at 162 mph just prior to noticing the coolant loss.
APE milled the head, checked the cylinder, honed the cylinder, did a full valve job and new seals. Head gasket is supplied via John Noonan, along with the new rings. Pistons looked brand new, with no heat issues at all and perfect ring lands.
This should have been any easy rebuild. There's nothing exotic about it. The 400 hp part is a big variable, but this never saw more than maybe 20hp when it let go (literally 20hp).
Not sure what to think about the lesson to be learned. If a builder blames parts that arent new it would mean I would have had to buy a brand new head, new cylinder, new pistons, etc. There would be no such thing as a rebuild, it would have to be a zero mile/all new parts build. All parts were inspected and green lighted by either APE and /or the shop.
Maybe the lesson is not to use any non big name builders? I had this motor built by another local pro at 5k miles and it took all the abuse I could throw at it for 25k miles.
At this point its all speculation. Once I hear back about what they say is the problem I will work from there.
Thanks for all the replies. Its nice to have a knowledgeable group to biunce this off of. Also noce to get some free threapy so I dont start having a giant grown man tantrum, lol.
