It's great to see some "out of the box" ideas. Over here, and Europe in general, streetfighters seem to follow a certain style, but you guys across the pond are doing some good shit. This is just one of the many reasons this site ROCKS!!

Interesting project, sure be one to watch.

Had a little bit of time to work between school and work today. Was able to get the engine down to the camshaft. Don't have any time right now to take it down any further, but it's a pretty decent start for only working on it for 20 minutes.

Had some more time today to work on the getting the XS engine torn down. I was able to get the head and cylinders off.

Didn't have a cam chain breaker, and wasn't able to get enough slack in the chain even after I took off the cam chain bearings. So, I found the master link, ground down the pins and the master link just fell out. I'm planning on getting a new cam chain anyways when I rebuild it.

Once I had the cam chain and and cam shaft out of the way, I was able to get the rest of the head off the engine.

Then it was just a couple hits with a rubber mallet and the cylinders pulled right off. I noticed that the base gasket seemed to be cracked near the back of the cylinders, so I'm guessing that's where the oil that you see seeping from the back of the cylinders came from.

Just a picture of the head and cylinders off. These will get an extensive cleaning before the engine gets rebuild (possibly baking soda blasted)

The cylinder sleeves look to be in great condition, no rust, pits or major grooves.

So that's as far as I got today. I'm going to be ordering a complete gasket and seal kit soon and start cleaning the engine (possibly a little paint).

I hate having to grind down or cut off important shit!

When I pulled it out of XS Interceptor I put a little 20w50 down the cylinders and used a cotton swab covered in oil on the end of a flexible grabber tool to coat as much as I could of the inside so it could survive sitting in the corner of the garage until somebody wanted it.

Sub'd. This is looking like it's going to be a hell of a good build!

Interesting frame/motor combo. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure.
