I hope he is... I think I should order one now to add to my growing list of items for the 400 (when I finish the other 2 projects)

That is a nice little Postie bike... Thankfully "lock-down" is starting to be relaxed a bit over here on the East Coast. If you mean Raytech automotive.. they are Perth Based. Their newest version of the Synchroking has apparently passed all their in house testing and will begin shipping shortly for pre-orders. I havent ordered one yet but will probably do so in the next couple of days... https://raytechautomotive.com/collections/frontpage/products/synchroking-4s-mkii

The manual says it should be 170.7 psi with 9.4:1 Compression ratio. I couldnt find the upper and lower limits in the quick look I had.
I am sure it will be in there.

Leak-down test might be the better option. It will give you better diagnostics on any issues..
I would think that those pressures wouldnt be too bad considering the length of hose from the fitting to the gauge.

Looks like they have done it to try and get a bushing out... might be worth dropping the end off and having a look inside.. just to see what has been done.

Wait a while before you attempt to put the 2 pack over your test piece...the biggest issue putting 2 pack over Acrylic is that if done too soon you get what they call fry-up which is basically a chemical reaction due to the solvents still flashing out of the Acrylic being trapped under the 2K.
The differences are the Acrylic relies on the solvent flashing off to allow the paint to harden.. the 2K has the hardener to create a chemical reaction to harden the paint.
It is why they suggest leaving Acrylic a few weeks to harden before buffing as the paint will be too soft. 2 K you can buff it out the following day.
They also recommend a light scuff of the surface you will be putting the 2K onto.. so just a fine scotchbrite pad and see how you go..

Hard to do that with a Digital Thermometer... although people have a hissy fit if you point the laser dot at them.. so probably similar sort of antics lol

Hmm I didnt spot that but the times I have used it before were in well ventilated area with a 3M mask and pre-filter plus closes etc... that shit sticks to everything. Having said that... during my apprenticeship in the Aircraft Industry in the early 70's I spent 6 months using a massive degreasing tank which was hot MEK which had you pretty much high all day... had 2 years with my hands constantly in Acetone, MEK or pretty much any other solvent you can name when in the sheet metal shop and constantly had chromate (we knew it as cocky shit) on my hands... 18 months in the Hawker de Havilland Hydraulic Shop working with all sorts of fluids including Skydrol and up to the armpits in White Spirits when stripping items down and yet I am still here... no adverse effects (some would disagree) but I still err on the cautious side and use PPE these days. The rustoleum one says it is Iso free. https://www.rustoleum.com.au/~/media/DigitalEncyclopedia/Documents/RustoleumAU/TDS/English/Hi%20Chem%20TDS/2-Pack-ISO-Free-Clear.ashx?la=en-AU

Most... if not all 2 Pack these days is Iso Cyanate free due to the OHS rules and regs. There are plenty of good quality ISO free 2 pack spray cans of clear.. Eastwood paints are generally pretty good.. and their 2 Pack looks to have some really good points over standard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O-Ol2OmZxgthere are a number of rustoleum videos around as well showing their 2 pack clear.

Wow... the Cerakote looks really good.. In Australia it would probably be too expensive a process to use on a frame.. the hubs etc all came out really good and will benefit from the Cerakote.
Were the pics the right way up down there? On my screen they were upside-down! 
Strangely they were upside down here as well..

My 466 piston kit didnt cost me much more than that when converted from Aussie Peso's... but it isnt a Yoshimura Kit either..
Is there really much to gain from Gas Flowing the head on a 400? I guess removing any casting dags and port matching would be all you might really do.
Not sure on the "mods" to the valves unless they change the grind angles which might be fine for racing but might not work too well on the road.
That list now gives me something to take along to my "Old school" engine machinist and head man to start on the spare engine... one I finish getting my garage re-sorted.
