i believe they were 990 rectange ports. This was four a GEN IV block. It think the later ones were 088 rectangle and i think that was for a GEN V. Chamber was 188 or119cc .

Default thanks!!

That all sounds right. I was thinking it was gen4 myself. Was there anything special about the plug locations or anything that you remember?

Thanks

Here is a link to the factory manual. I had one and it has a lot of good info. I did find a few mistakes a couple printed specs. You need the HP3 Manual in The Hi Perf section. I don't think the price is correct unless they are trying to get rid of them.

I'm pretty familiar with it. I had one for 5 years and went through the top end it. It had over 500 hrs on the bottom and was still running strong when Dude sweet pulled it for some HUGE power.
