Glyptal paint, maybe?

Doug MacRae said:Hey John; the ports are 35mm and the carbs will be same 38mm Mikunis that we used before. However, when measured exactly inside, those carbs are only 37.5 mm- Herb has some that he bored out to 39 so we will try the 38's and then see if the 39's do any better on the dyno. Herb says that with the Fullauto head, there is loads of material around the ports so going to 35mm was no problem, he could go even bigger- with a stock head you would probably be already broken through at 35mm.
Ken, Herb is using stock lifters with a 3" radius and the cam is a Megacycle SSS
Tom, we will be going to Stay Tuned but don't know when yet, stay posted
The port measuring tool shows exactly the same distance at both ends, a very simple tool that I am sure was around when the pyramids were built
