Well this last month a disgusting amount of money was dropped on parts for this engine.

These Wiseco pistons replace the stock Athena pistons due to the 115mm long rods I'm running and the +4mm stroked crank shaft. The head still needs to be machined to accommodate the longer stroke and the wrist pin on these pistons is different to accommodate the longer rod.

This idle gear is lovely, totally unnecessary but was only £60 but seemingly not available to purchase anywhere I looked.

The Magura wasn't cheap, but it's going to be necessary when running all 6 TZ750 clutch springs just to keep the power from slipping the clutch.

(the other two springs are in the post I had to source elsewhere).
Now that I have the basket, I can finally assemble the clutch basket with my straight cut primary gears.

Basket is beautifully made, claimed to be the best on the market and I can see why. It was missing the Belleville washer that sits between the basket and the fastener plate, I bought a genuine basket to chop up and salvage but it wasn't on that basket (apparently they're fitted to 1986 models and later). I managed to find a company that sell them so ordered from them and fitted. Wasn't cheap but I'm glad it's in.

I did replace the steel bolts with some lighter titanium ones (hopefully they withstand the abuse the basket is going to take!)

About 50% of the weight, but hopefully not at the expense of strength!

The washer is installed with the raised edge facing you. The fastener plate will clamp down onto this edge.

Engine is coming together nicely now though.
