Tried the "insert image" function on the toolbar but all I can do is add a link to a pic somewhere else. That's what I tried here but my pics are in web site in a non-public area.

This site does not have a process that will post multiple phots. You have to use Photobucket ro Tinypic or a similar site to host the photos.

I sent you a personal message this morning that explains the process.

I got a down payment on one, I'm prolly gonna get that cam also.

I sold my 1983 Harley Sportster XLX 1000cc Ironhead shortly after I bought my Savage. The sportster had 2500 miles on a top end rebuild inculding an S&S Super carb and drag pipes. My Savage Rides better, handles better, vibrates a LOT less, gets better gas mileage, and when the high perf build is finished will be faster than my Harley. Cool

When I removed the engine from the frame and before I disassembled anything I covered all the holes with tape and took a plastic bristle mag wheel cleaning brush to it along with some help from several cans of brake clean. It came out as you see it and it was pretty grungy before, lots of leakage around the head gasket, etc. Lower engine cases were very dirty. Valves and cam chain were noisy and in need of adjustment, oil was BLACK! Shocked

....There were several more minor issues which is why I decided to do a top end rebuild...why not? Roll Eyes

Which bottom end are you using, 4 or 5 speed? Undecided

I'd like to build up one using a 4 speed bottom with starter drive mods, & the 95mm bore w/hotter cam. I think that would give me the bike I really want. Cool

That may be because my first Savage was a new '87 & I was really disappointed with the 4-5 ratio difference. Sad

5th was just added because every thing else was a 5 speeed & Suzuki thouht just being a 4 speed was hurting sales! Shocked

If I had the extra $$$$, I'd buy a 4 speed lower end from you. If I was doing your build & had access to a 4 speed, that's what I would use. Unfortunitly I am currently low on funds for projects like that. First priority right now is getting back to a good looking bike set up for my wife to use daily. I'll be putting a travel trunk on it later.

Have you ever ridden a 4 speed Savage? The gear ratios are much more of an even spread than the 5 speeds. That 4-5 spread is too close too be effective in increasing the overall performance. my '87 was the fastest stock Savage of the three I've owned. Cool

Besides, having a four speed would make for a more unique bike anyway! Grin
