Velociraptor. What cam do you have in your bike? I am getting the Mid Range. How much of differance between that and a full race?

 

SYKO'
I HAVE A WEB MID TO HIGH, I'LL STOP BY THE SHOP THAT DID MY MACHINE THIS WEEK, AND SEE IF I CANT EMAIL YOU THE CUT SHEETS.( PENDING ON HOW BUSY I GET AT WORK THIS WEEK, BUT ILL GET THEM TO YOU.)DID YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SPECIAL WITH YOUR HEAD GASKETS FOR THAT 13-1 ENGINE COMPRESSION?

 

no i didnt have to do anything special with gaskets that know of. bike is in shop now getting all it done to it

 

velocity & syko, does your starter crank slower with the higher compression or does the decompression device compisate for it?

I notice a little bit.Instead of opening up the choke half way when i turn it over, I have to open the choke 3/4 of the way.( this is only when the machine is cold, otherwise I just hit the start button abd it fires up with ease.) Only some one who rides a raptor on a daily basis might notice it.

 

At least I know when I put a high compression piston in my Lizzard the starter should live.
Thanks

 

hurycne, How did the Turbo test come out last weekend?

 

My motor turns over slower depending on where the motor is when I shut it down(Compression/Exhaust). I am running the 10.75:1, which should be in the 11-11.5:1 range with my 696/697 cam. I blew a head gasket on the first assembly(which was about two weeks ago). Turns out I got an original design Cometic head gasket. I've got the re-designed gasket now and used Threebond-1211 to seal it(Thanks Raptor720!). Never heard of using any type of sealant on a head gasket before, but it seems to be working. I won't know till I get it out for a couple hours of hard riding. I basically blew into the water jacket and pushed all of my coolant out the over flow.
