Silly busy week but a couple quick updates...

The Boxer 160 arrived and looks great. Can't wait to get started on this conversion. Ignition parts have been ordered- The TBI carb is going to be a easy conversion I think and the mounting will work out - Going to try a "plastic" body on this one.

Bert - what does the "rocker oiling" mod encompass on the ASP 160?

Lonnie - I have not forgot about you - Will give you a call and discuss the inserts as soon as I can. I have studied up the "indexed" insert idea and think I can make that cut being careful with the setup. Will need to 5/16-32 tap just to make a hole for sizing the external threads to get a "Snug Fit" and I think I can mimic the Timesert lock mechanism by "short tapping" the internal threads.

Can you confirm the bore is indeed 5/16-32 - a bit concerned if its home made it might just be 5/16-24
