Back together for the first time in 2 years. So much dust on all the exhaust parts and grime in the engine bay.
I slapped this motor together from a corroded out xl700, which had been sitting in someones yard for 5 years, with the engine apart and exposed.
Luckily the motor...
Well. Bam. So there you go. Guess I accidently figured it out on my own.
Got new rings from JetManiac.... picking up helicoils now. Throwing the ski in the back of the truck in approximately 2 hours and heading off to panama for the race.
What a slap ass job this will be. hahaha.
SmokinFx1. You got it. Just keep trimming. Try to leave as much possible for gasket surface.
And That post was a few hours after I was working. heh. Trying to get this motor ready for to throw in the car in about an hour to head up for the first race of the year.
Also... This will...
Not only do they have larger surface area, its at a better angle. So

B) The less steep angle allows for a less severe open angle, over all more volume escaping
C) Less turbulent pathway past the reed opening..

Cut off the excess flange and it fit right in. Why...
so if you dont deck the bottom of the cylinder, and just run without a gasket.... would you just use threebond 1211 instead? I'm interested in trying this with a new 62t motor I'm building... Perhaps use my non girdled Riva head on it with the 35cc domes...
I've only probably logged 10 hours on the ski...
Right now I'm working on a much much bigger project. (but still along the lines of what some people might know me for...)
I'm installing a 12 valve 5.9 liter Cummins Turbo Diesel in my 1975 El Camino. I'm getting pretty close to...
Na. I ran this last year in Novice Ski Open class, and that was it. It was running some junky OEM 44's and compression dropped to 150, started running funky and I gave up. I was running an MSD, but it had some funky problem. It ran great, but the stop circuit was not working.
