The motor was pulled out & opened up to only find that the block needed to be bore'd .5mm over along with having to order new custom sized pistons from Mahle.
As it stands now the piston are made and the block is on it's way to get bore'd but in the meantime I purchased a low mileage used motor with 27k on the clock and drop that in the car while we test safely with the fuel system which I'm happy to say is now working!
The car is in a vt650 dual fuel pump state which is strong and raw ... Feels stronger then a regular 650 but still need to dyno, this will take place this coming weekend @ Ics performance.
I will update the thread periodically but as it stands the VT3 motor will be complete in about 2 months so that will have to wait.
A special thanks goes to Cory ( engine builder ) & K&B Auto works for making my mishap a speedy recovery and put me on the road in No time !
