F042 Build #3

We bead blasted, cleaned and prepped the engine cases and had them powder coated satin black to match the cylinder heads.

After measuring the clearances and installing new bearings throughout the cases, work began to take the 1000 DS (dual spark) engine to a superbike specification engine. This specification included Pistal high comp pistons, lightened and balanced crank, Ducati Corse light weight gear selector drum and close ratio gearbox, Ducati Corse 999RS lightweight generator and flywheel, STM 12 tooth racing slipper clutch with sintered racing plates and magnesium engine cases.

All the engine internals where super-finished by the fine folks at Supertech to reduce the overall friction and increase the oil retention. The cylinder heads underwent significant upgrades to include porting polishing and then gas flowed to perfection. To finish them off we installed a set of Ducati racing camshafts, which is sure to unleash the overall potential of the engine.
