Mark on is yellow flame triple piped gpr came in second in the 2 hr enduro and larry on his triple piped stxr finished 1st I believe in the 50 minute sprint. They were kind enough to hand deliver all my parts needed to rebuild my gpr better than it was before. I will be posting picks of mark and larry soon. Thanks to rpm racing I will be riding this summer after all. [IMG]

That Flaming GPR looks sweet

keep in mind these guys were running this endurance race in 109 degree heat. Leg cramps and sun burns were comon place. It seems to me you would have to be in good shape to run a race like this. Larry and Mark I will be joining you soon, and giving you guys a run for your money. LOL NOT!

I have the gpr back together, So Ill be breakin her in next weekend and racing with you guys soon. Everything has gone great so far. I want to personally thank mark and larry for their efforts and their help on my gpr. I really had a great time helping you guys refuel during the endurance races.

Joe,

Glad to hear you got it back in one piece. I hope it runs great.

JOE,well were back from indio a little sore,a little tired,and alot sunburned.i want to again say thx for helping us refuel during the races and getting your baptism under fire,you were great. i really thought i took first in the 2 hr gp race,i guess when i did my swan dive off the boat while chasing ted down caused me to loose a position,i still thought i had a huge lead and it didn't cost me the lead owell thats racing.you didn't waste anytime getting that motor back together,way to go,just remember what i told you to do while breaking it in.now get you and all your buds from so cal and come out to bullets race on june 7th,bullet is offering free entry to first time racers.talk to you soon.MARK RPM RACING

Mark I left a message on your cell phone, I put the gpr on the hose and it died, water in the jugs and crank again. I have torn her down again and after talking to larry it seems the #2 head is warped enough to allow water in the cylinder. Larry suggested using some 400 grit sand paper on the head and not using any permatex spray on anything and sticking to the 1211. no siezure marks on the side of the piston however there is some scoring on the cylinder so ill use some 400 grit on that also. This thing really is killing me.

Joe,

That really suxs. I think I would compression test and pressure test before starting it up this time. Are you sure you don't have a waterline disconnected somewhere?

Best of luck

Jim

jim , It is leaking water through the head and gasket, soon as I turn water on it starts to miss and die. I used some 400 grit sand paper to true the head, It was some what warped but not to bad but bad enough to not make a good seal on the jug. I am having a miserable time right now. I was putting motor back together and went to find a small aluminum piece that goes to my rpm pv couplers and I cant find it. I have to remove the exhaust and juggs to make sure its not in the crank area. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad. After speaking with larry at rpm racing I am fully confident that my seal job on the cases is close to perfect. I will start to disassemble the motor tomorrow evening in search of the rpm coupler piece. Ill keep you posted when and if I find the D@mn thing.

JOE,if you have any more problems putting the motor together this time.pack everything up bring yourself and the boat to us saturday morning like you did when you brought the parts,we'll help you put it together and get you out on the lake sunday to break it in. btw i do have extra heads you can have one if yours is screwwed.let me know.MARK RPM RACING.ps riva please don't delete i'm not trying to promote any buisness just trying to help joe out thx.

The coupler piece was sitting on the side of the motor. Not in the crank area. Its all back together now and I ran it on the hose for awhile ran fine. Pulled plugs no water just wet with fuel. Again I must thank mark and larry @ rpm racing for everything they have done and have offered todo for me. Spud no worries man all is well. Ill be riding @ the river soon eating doos and cr@pin ultras

Joe,

I'm happy to hear you got it all back in one piece. Did your problem end up being the head?
