TB v2 racehead work

[solidjohnny]

I've been running this on my 155 with great results. I just installed the Takegawa +r roller rockers and TB titanium retainers. Wow, the +r rockers seriously feel like they are half the weight of the stock ones!! The retainers are a good bit lighter as well.

While I had the valves out, I discovered that both valve seats created a pretty sizable lip where it's seated into the ports. I carefully ground the lips flush and also took down all the casting flaws I could safely reach with the bit I was running.

I was gonna take pictures, but there isn't really anything to see. I haven't had a chance to run the motor yet to see if there was any difference. Just thought I'd share.

ya we took my head apart and noticed it wasnt that great and was ported by LCS minis. Took it apart to find titanium valve retainer and exhaust valve i believe , we ended up switching them to my other v2 head. But you are right it seemed to be a tad bit lighter and better looking as well

Can you get those valves for the +r or any info so I can get them ? Thanks

wow, so I finally got a chance to ride my bike. It ran rough. Checked the plugs, was running lean. So i went up one jet size and it improved. I taped off a portion of my bbr u-flow and it ran perfect. Noticable power increase (could also be from the lighter rockers yah?) Looks like I gotta go up another jet size! Guess my little port job really made a difference!

Just in case anyone is wondering. I'm currently running a PWK28 with a 45 pilot, needle in the middle position, and a 120 main. Prior to the head work, i was running a 115 main with the needle in the middle position. I'm guessing it needs a 125 main jet.

The R+ valves have much smaller stem so they wont fit!
