    Compression variation with temp

    yeah, I guess if you want it to run at a specific psi on operating temps (on the hairy edge) you have to run expensive fuel so you don't melt down.

    "the hairy edge"...lol

    Compression variation with temp

    the thing's gonna detonate anyway if your timing is advanced. the thing is how are you supposed to set one up to run at 185 and cold it's 190 if you're worried about detonation damage? and yeah, 5 psi is "substantial" if it means the difference between pump gas and 100 octane to avoid a...

    Compression variation with temp

    I've never been able to get a good reading from a cold engine. it's always different from cold. and when you're running borderline pump gas compression, you can't afford to make a mistake because you're too close to the line to. if I set my engine up to run at 185 compression cold, I'm lookin...

    Compression variation with temp

    right, but if you want a "true" reading of engine compression, let it reach operating temps before you test it. just sayin'. :dunno:

    Compression variation with temp

    that's why you always bring an engine up to operating temps before doing a compression test.

    It would expensive to get titanium studs and girdle bolts made, but you wouldn't have to worry about them breaking anymore...lol

    good luck finding any 518. MrSki used it all on one set of 550 cases. if you're snapping girdle bolts left and right, something else is going on. they shouldn't be snapping like that unless they're a poor grade of steel. you gotta put some serious pressure on a stainless steel girdle bolt to...

    How about a new X-H2o shirt design, who would buy a t-shirt this time around?

    I think a shirt would look cool with just a small graphic of "X-h20.com" about 3 1/2" X 7" right in the center of the front. :dunno:

    kawi 650 ignition to 750 ignition, 900cc stroker

    scorn is right about using the 750 electrics and it having a better timing curve, and also you would be better off using them with that setup for a rev limiter. 650 electrics don't have one, that's also what's bad about using a 650 voltage regulator in a 440/550 e-box on conversion skis. when...
