Congrats on you weight loss, remember eat 6 or 7 meals per day in small quanties and watch your gluten intake or try to get gluten free flour/rice etc. Water is your best friend and diet this and that on the label means shit, just eat good, chicken, salmon fish, tuna, lean meat, veg. Good luck on the weight lost.
As for big bore kit, I'm getting the BrianS kit, both the 170cc cylinder and the heads reworked. As for the cam I'm switching over to Crower cam and for the ECU upgrade I will use the PCV. The air box mod will be done, not sure yet what exhaust system I will be using since I do not want noise to piss of the neighbors.
As for now my stock Grom will do 60-65-67 mph with my 210 lb weight. I diet down from 225 lbs and hoping to get down to 190-196 lbs.
I look at any project engine build as first do I have the right tools and working area. Second do I have the funds to do the project. Third I research on the internet other people who have done engine work and I would book mark any resource that will be helpful for my build.
A good torque wrench and good set of tools will make your job go EZ and also good lighting. Just remember to finger tight all bolts/nuts first and slowly torque them down, meaning if the torque requirement is 30ft/lbs and you are doing a 4 bolt pattern I would finger tighten all four bolts/nuts than I would start at 10 ft/lb and I would do the first bolt than I would do the bolt in the opposite side than the other bolts sort of like a cross pattern so I put even pressure on the object I'm trying to bolt down. And I would slowly go up to the required torque.
Make sure you have the correct loc-tight glue if need be or gasket sealer and take your time on the job.
For me I have a digital camera and video camera and I would take pic of my project, both before I start the job and after I finish. The picture taking will also help me in figure out how to put the thing back together and what it should look like before and after.
Good Luck.
