Now if you would just get that 740 running...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

i'm trying.....but working 50+ hours a week and doing the work yourself becomes a problem......

got everything reassembled and had a headgasket sealing problem....
pulled head and cylinder
decked both....and realized that there is somethin wrong with they cylinder......may be out of round........compression is blowing by the piston at each water jacket........

you can see black spots on the inside of the sleeve at each water jacket where it is blowing around the rings.........I haven't a clue what is wrong with it..........

it is almost like the sleeve isn't strong enough.....and on each compression stroke the sleeve expands into the water jacket leaving and opening for compression to blow through into the crankcase.......

if I can't figure out what is causing this and I have to buy a new cylinder an sleeve.........I will not be going 106mm...........maybe going back to a 686.........who knows?

tell me bout it

 

Your swingarm/wheeliebar setup looks good. Have you noticed any better times, or is it piece of mind? I know i like the feeling of a wheelie bar back there.

RoostKing...

 

what's he wheelie bar for??? learn to feather the clutch.....you'll get better traction and don't go more than a +2 swingarm or you will lose traction

 

Huh??? If you got too much horsepower and try and feather the clutch you have all ready lost the race bro.

 

i feather the clutch and my best 300ft time is 4.89@68mph.....thats not bad with only 60-65hp

 

how long does your clutch last??? I'm all about swingarms[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] but we hillclimb

 

it's lasted over a year now with plenty of adjustment left......my sponssorr has a +4 arm and if the traction isnt perfect he don't hook up! i don't think an arm is needed unless you're hill climbing, plus the 03 preds don't wheelie very well anyways.....my time possted above is my best time, i got an exellent holeshot but i still got hung up in 3rd too long!!!! room for improvement next season, i think there's another tenth without doing any more mods.
