totally amazing riding!! watched it at least five times in a row so far, what is the name of the first song? I searched morcheeba on youtube but its a girl? thanks!

Did you unplug the killswitch/tether harness plug down by the engine? superjets are known for corrosion in the tether switch causing a problem, it will work one minute and not the next. Both of mine do this once or twice a season, usually after they sit waiting for the next ride. Bypassing...

my fx1 leaks badly through the driveshaft seal, It will sink in about an hour of sitting in the water. Next on the list of things to fix...:burnout:

So I ended up reshaping the squish to 15 degrees and then as it turned out I only needed to take 0.040" off the deck to get even to the squish band I had just cut. I havent cc'd it yet but put it on and torqued it down to check the squish and ended up at 0.080" still too loose for my liking...

will do, as she is going under the knife tomorro at lunch. Will start at 15 degrees and cut the head till the surface is flush with the squish band, I will be measuring how much I take off to get there. Then to cc it and see where I ended up and how much more or less I should have taken! Good...

my bad, in my head i was including the gasket in the 35cc total, :doh: sometimes i dont type exactly what i am thinking thanks!

Thanks all, I think I will just lathe about 0.050" off the head, reshape the chamber to 20 degrees and re-cc to 35cc and run a 50thou gasket. This sounds way more reliable than the oring thing on a stocker. If I didnt have access to a good lathe I would now just buy an aftermarket head! gotta...

Thanks Alot! Exactly what I wanted to hear!:brap:

thanks, but that is not what I wanted to know! I know about the volume you lose that is why i am doing it, I am building a budjet ski. I have a lathe and am also going to reshape and cc the head when I cut the groove for the o-ring. We do this alot at the shop where I work, although to...

anybody have any pictures of a stock head with o-rings installed? how do you seal the around the mounting bolts, it doesnt look liket there is enough room to install an o-ring here as well?
