Nice Ken - Be certain that the port edges are not sharp.
They look like they are good to go but verify that just to be sure.
It's hard to tell from the pictures.
I made that mistake once and had a piston ring shatter
on the sharp edge of a transfer port after building up an
entire Kawasaki 100 from scavenged parts back when I
was about 12...I remember thinking:
"What the hell just happened? oh well, it's still running so it can't be that bad."

Rob
it was the first thing I checked when the barrels came back. They did a good job of dressing the edges of the ports.
thanks
Ken

Got the motor completed today, just have to pressure test it. I put in a new clutch cover, new heads, replated cylinders, new pistons, bearings and some other stuff.
If I get the pressure testing done soon, I will fire it up and get it ready for the next track day.

Update.
I just got finished pressure testing the motor.
I have the left cylinder holding pressure at 6PSI. THe intake manifold was leaking air and it took a little while to find the leak. Now its A-OK.
The right one (forward cylinder) is leaking air into the cooling system. I pulled the head and re-sealed everything and checked the o-rings. Everything looked OK, but it still leaks. I have to pull the barrel now and check the base gasket to see that there is adequate sealant on the case/underside of the barrel.
I was also sent the wrong heads and I had to return them to RSCYCLES.com for an exchange. While I was at it, I ordered the replacements to be from a 2000 TZ125 and I am having Roland Cushway machine them for the TZ250. Looking forward to getting those installed on the motor at the next top end rebuild.
Tomorrow morning, I will be pulling the barrels again and re-checking the base gaskets and applying a little more Yamabond to everything. Sucks that I ran out of time today I have to head into work now. I am hoping that this takes care of the air leak. I would like to get the motor back into the bike this week so I can have my 250cc lawn mower back on the track soon.
Ken

Turned out to be my front cylinder base gasket. Some high heat silicone and that was it.
All buttoned up and ready to re-install.

I got the motor re-installed. I have to clean the carbs and set the ignition timing in the morning. Looking to fire it up tomorrow.

I must say this is quite the interesting post! Never owned a 2 stroke nor realized the amount of work that can be involved with them. Excellent thread!
