Need Help With a Big Bore 540

Post by tyler440 »

hello... i bought some vmax 540 parts off of ebay and im looking for anytype of info on them.... i know they are "big bore" parts and some where near 4mm over bore... the head has been milled to lower the compression (or keep it the same after the increase in bore) the cylinders have polished intake and exhaust "runners" and a decent amount of "smoothing" on the transfer ports.... it doesnt appear that the transfer ports were moved or made any bigger... im just looking for any info i can get....

there are some stampings on them head and cylinders as you can see from the pics

Image
this number is hard to read in the picture... i believe it says "8776"

Image
these numbers are pretty easy to read when you click on the picture and make it bigger... it says "SSR 332" and below that "84"

also if anyone knows where i can get "big bore" pistons to fit this please let me know...

thanks

whats the bore in the cylinders?, you can find pistons that will work by picking up a wiseco book and finding something with the same, orvery close comp.distance and same pin, always canwork the bore slightly if needed(larger). I use watercraft pistons and all sorts,dirtbike pistons and such for custom 2 smoke sled engines, the piston doesnt know what engine its in.

I had a 610cc kit, never got it installed, and it wound up getting sold to fund other projects. Made by High Altitude Engineering, New Mexico, out of business.
