B-Pipe Question

For the screws on the Head pipe are suppose to be set at for best bottom end? Its a 61x with an ocean pro head at 180psi, rest stock i believe if that makes any difference. Thanks.

I would suggest 1 turn bottom, mid closed and 1/4 to 1/2 turn on top.

However, I like to tune mine like this: Close top and mid screws, adjust bottom screw until pipe almost sizzles when you drip water on it - lock it down. Adjust top screw until you find the right compromise of bottom end gain without killing top. If you find that your at 3/4 turn out or greater then you need to turn bottom screw in a little. Keep in mind its the top screw that will mostly provide bottom gains - more top water, better bottom.

Bottom and mid closed, top open enough to get a sizzle. 3/4 to 7/8 of a turn.

X3. I think most people end up that way.

My top screw is going to be difficult to get to in an X2, could I set it at say 1/2 and fine tune with the bottom screw?

You just need a twister screw at the top and you can do it by hand.
Pete adjusts his all the time and uses an allen head wrench still but its a PITA .

get a set of twisters from Jeremy Parr or LPW

X4, although I do open the bottom about 1/16 of a turn to keep it from siezing (this may only work in my mind). :biggthumpup:

Antiseize ,pipe dope or grease is the only thing that will keep if from seizing .it doesnt matter if it's open 2 turns or closed .it's two dissimilar metals and will seize if not removed once in a while .
