Hi mate, and welcome to the forum.
I don't think it'll need to welded at all, just re-machine the squish band to the specs youll find in the engine section, shave the face, and machine the combustion chamber to get the compression ratio right.
Good luck, ask questions, and keep us all posted on the progess.
Cheers, Scott.
Have a good read through the engines section, as there are a few posts explaining what specs to get the head machined to if you want good RELIABLE power.Spliffyaid wrote:The head doesnt look healthy (ill post a pic later) but i beleive you can get these welded and re ground?

Well, spent most of last night in the garage with 20 Marlborough lights, 12 cans of 1664 a big bowl of gunk and a paintbrush
God, I know how to live
Anyway, cleaned off about 18 years worth of crud off quite a few parts and then putting all the bits in to two boxes, one box for shot/bead blasting, one box for vapour blasting.
Also thinking about getting all the nuts and bolts etc done, but judging from the state of 80% of them, i think ill buy new
Been speaking to Red Devil about the above so im in good hands and is a veritable mountain of information, which is great Thanks for your help so far =D>

Hi from another noob on here.
I've also recently bought a KR1s. I bought it to use the carbs for an lc project but i'm now thinking of restoring it. It looks similar to yours, condition wise, but in one piece though!
Anyway thought you might like to know I offer a vapour blasting service and am not too far from you, in Skelmersdale (approx 30 mins).
Might be worth comparing notes

Right then, i guess this is where my project kicks off in earnest, although im not sure if i have bought a pile of shite and it all goes to the scrappers at the weekend
Look at this damage and tell me, "Oh, dont worry, they are all like that" (please [-o< ) These are 2 seperate blocks btw
Also look at the differance in Engine numbers? does this say one is an import and one isnt, or isnt one of them an S? any ideas?
I also appear to have two left hand carbs? anyone got a right one for sale?
Garye345, ill get the barrels and head off you at some point this week, when you about?
Very imprssed with the vapour blasting Cheers Mark =D>

I can't help you about the engine cases, one of the experts will diagnose those for you.
What I can say is that on all four cases I have the engine number looks like the first photo, the second one looks wrong, maybe it has been ground off and re-stamped?
Vapour blasting rocks btw.

Carbs, one should have a vacum take off (that's normally the left as sat on the bike) other one shouldn't. If you've got two left, can't see why you can't blank it off. If not I'm sure I've got a spare right carb body (I used 2 lefts on a 350 ypvs used the vac bit as oil feed) One should have a long idle adjuster other hasn't but if you've got one fit it and loop it round to where the other one goes.
Engine nos, I'd be a bit 'sus' of the second one, it's the fact that the raised edge is missing that makes you think hmmmmmmm? To be honest a lot of jap imports have engine nos that are kr250b(e?) and that's it. I don't know for sure but seem to understand that jap bikes don't always have engine nos
Stuff looks really well, my engine is being soda and vapour blasted at the moment, far too many on here going for the cleanest engine award, don't want to be left behind.

I agree with Jan, they look normal and its just the steel inserts within the alloy casting.JanBros wrote:there is nothing wrong with your cases.
that's were there are metal inserts in the aluminium cases, and I've seen them many times before.
That engine number looks a bit dodgie, like its been ground off and re stamped.
