[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 74286, member: 98"] well I'm cleaning the old gaskets off the 1100 heads ...I'm going to reinstall with no gaskets on the motor and put belts on and use that as a test to to see if anything hits ....and yes my heads gaskets are 1100 gaskets that's good ...I'll just have to put things off until I can get some O rings for heads to be put on for good. well that didnt work too good ...without gaskets the pistons hit the 1100 head around the edge ...so today I'm going to clean the heads even more ...they were quite messed up with gasket stuff on the heads and block time to get that all good. I'll have to look and see just how things work on the 1100 short block ...I think the same thing would happen there also ...just shows you how close pistons and heads come together around the edge...the gasket is all that separates them...I'm going to go slow through here as I dont want any chance of doing something or not doing something that will cause a problem here ....there will be no rushing through this ...anyway the piston is only .05mm bigger than 1100 but it still seems to hit. I've test fitted the carbs before and it seems you can pull the rubber intakes out one of the two knotches and it hooks up fine ...but this was only lightly testing I never tried to seal it down yet ...just looked possible....once past the pistons clearing I'm thinking things will be much easier on this mod...I'm really getting excited on the deal....the 1200 gearing matched to the 1100 final drive I think is going to be killer...just low and tall enough to be a real road ripper ....I'm very pleased it didnt take much to clear the valves ....
