Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! Should be starting back up soon!!!!
We had some great progress for a while but funds ran low. Joe and I agreed that we didn't want to "skimp" on this build so we held off until I can get some key parts purchased...... I have a nice set of rear-sets picked out and a set of chambers as well...... Hopefully I'll be able to get them to Joe in the next couple of weeks so that the magic can continue!
I gotta ride this thing this SUMMER!

Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! The New Billet Aluminum Rear Sets Are Here!
Brother Teazer the rear sets are fast from the past products, I am very impressed with their quality and I think that they will really compliment this build!
Thank You Brother Junior, you know I am a fan of your work as well!

Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! New Photos Of Cylinder Head Work!
Brother bradj it is nice to hear that you are running the same rear sets and that you like them, they are very nice!
I started working on the cylinder heads today! I still have some more work to do however here are some before and after photos of the combustion chambers! I also built a new cylinder heads page for our website if anyone would like to look at it! http://dwmsracing.com/cylinderheads.html

Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! New Photos Of Cylinder Head Work!
Thank You Brother Habanero!
Thank You Brother Teazer! I still have the engine sitting in the frame for mock up of the exhaust and the rear sets so that I can build the new mounting brackets, etc. for them both so right now I am just cleaning some of the engine parts that I can until the exhaust gets here. We will not have the new pistons in the engine or do any cylinder work until after I remove it from the frame so I can not take measurements to set the squish until I have completed the cylinder work, installed the new gaskets, bearings, pistons, etc., and centered the cylinder heads to the cylinders. This will be a street engine and I am thinking about setting the squish around .035" what do you think?

Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! New Photos Of Cylinder Head Work!
.035" is close enough. The issue is that an RD350 uses a 1.0mm thick gasket that sits in a recess in the barrels. That recess and thick gasket have to go if you want to get the squish anywhere close to ideal. Barrels have to be turned/milled and heads really need to be pegged so they can be machined concentric to the bores.
Dale Alexander had a neat way to do that with a three fingered fixture. It shouldn't be hard to adapt that concept.

Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! New Photo Of Stainless Exhaust Chambers And Silencers!
Brother bluesmokey ordered a nice set of stainless exhaust chambers with silencers and they were delivered today so I put the suspension and rims on the frame and the cylinders and heads back on the engine so that I could mount the exhaust to the engine and start taking measurements for the brackets I am going to build for the rear of the frame to mount the rear sets and exhaust to. Here is a photo that shows how she is resting this evening!
