Those are ballast for hid light bulbs. They must be converted. How will a yfz piston work if the face of the piston has an extra valve relief? I can't see the horn, does it have re-angled injectors?


yes it does have reangled injectors, and yes those are the ballast for the hid lights.

Well, the reangled injectors are bad. Early on some super-geniuses saw that the injectors faced the walls of the ports. They figured if they cut and rewelded the injectors in straight there would be MORE POWER!

Well, they never thought to check the injectors and see how they sprayed. The injectors spray at an angle, to compensate for their angled mounting. So, any head with reangled injectors is actually sending fuel spraying into the port wall.... sigh...

My 65 hp drag bike has re angled injectors. Not on purpose, but that was the head we ported. So the reangled injectors really dont matter. As long as you get the fuel in there it will get pulled in. Dont worry about it.

I spoke to a crank builder today. He really didn't see how a yz426 crank would work. And if it did, it would take a lot of work and wouldn't be worth the time to do. I'm really curious to see what is in this engine.
