Hey, nice work, you can also grind valves and replace valve stem seals, check rockers/shafts

These heads are the ones off my engine that came out of the cafe before I swapped the 1000 in. That engine, I lapped the valves and it had valve stem seals through them. Should be good enough for now I reckon :) Thanks for tuning in 🤙🏼

@@mattfranco8715 I'm super interested! I have an '86 Virago xv750. This will be my first season riding. But I just purchased an '84 xv1000 bike with no title. the bike is rough but motor runs mint. I want to do the head swap and put the 1000 in my '86.

Nice work Matt, will you check the valves again once the camchain goes on?

Sure will. I’ll give everything a nice little check before pressing the start button that’s for sure

Hi Matt, great work! You've upgraded the bearing on the cam chain side, what supports the other end of the cam, is it already a ball bearing?
@mattfranco8715 Жыл бұрын
Thanks mate! The other side looks like it’s just part of the head I guess. Not 100% sure. Good question haha

So do you put the headgasket ontop of the firering ? or taking it out and then put on the headgasket ?
@mattfranco87155 ай бұрын
Hey mate. Nah you just completely swap the fire ring for the xv1000 style head gasket. The jugs on the 1000 have like an insert or part of the cylinder sleeve that fills the spot where the fire ring would normally be.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how that 1000 performs with the 750 heads and cams. Any progress?
@mattfranco8715 Жыл бұрын
Yeah so am I. Hahah sadly no more progress. Well the bike is in the shed on the lift but I’ve been overhauling an Johnson outboard motor for my tinny. But I’ve got everything ready to go. I would love to have it sorted before DGR in may. Should be possible. Might just pull a few early mornings before work! Stay tuned. It’s happening!

@@mattfranco8715 I totally understand. I've started my rebuild project of the 750. To recap, the plan is to have an XV920R (chain drive) case, with the 1000 cylinders and gen 2 starter components. So far, I've completely disassembled the 1000 and installed the 920R transmission in the 920R case (I bought the case and transmission separately). I currently have the crankshaft from the 1000 in the freezer. Hopefully after heating the 920R crankcase bearing seat I can coax the crankshaft into place. Regarding the 750 heads and cams, I was wondering if any benefits will be cancelled out by the fact that the valves are smaller. Any thoughts on the difference in valve size?

Oooft, that seems like such a good combo! I wish I went down that route! Maybe in the future I’ll have to build one. Yeah so from what I’ve heard/read it’s all about the low/mid range punch with the upgrade. The top end will suffer but honestly, I’m never up in that area anyway, these engines don’t want to be there anyway. I guess we shall find out!
