So far so good. I'm having a great time doing it. The press has really made things so much easier.
When I'm "done" I'll post everything that's on my wiki in this thread to hopefully create more keywords for others searching with questions that I may have answered.
I hope the KDX is as fun as I remembered in 2005 :)

Got my top-end back from Eric Gorr. I just hope he'll refund money.
The worst job I've ever seen...

I'll give him a call on Monday. It is bored to 225cc which is what I requested. Do you guys think a head gasket will seal that pitted deck?

I just got off of the phone with Eric.
He seemed real nonchalant about the condition of the cylinder. He said the pitting is normal after an acid wash and he recommends just using a little sealant. He also said Kawasaki's material is '****' which is why he always helicoils the threads. He missed a few threads which were damaged and I'll have to do them myself.
He also said the damaged/stripped cylinder plugs where like that when he got it and he had a hard time removing them.
Also, he did send me a different cylinder. My cylinder had a sleeve installed and couldn't be bored to 225. So,... it explains a lot.
I'm not sure how I feel about the whole situation.
Is 225cc worth the pitting and helicoils? I'm feeling it is,.. what do you guys think?
