clapped out surfboat TLC

[brett]

after 2 plus years of surf abuse and constant ridicule from my crew im gonna do some much needed maintenance...

-new turf
-new steering/steering cable
-get rid of sloppy nozzle syndrome
-deepen the hole for my foot on the tray
-install ratchet strap
-ffh?
-may even do a hack paintjob witha rattle can
-if i still have ajob after that i may do a needed top end-or even a some porting...its gonna be a long process

i knew i was losing power

 

[stanton]

paint jobs are over rated...

I didn't know you had a head on that engine... You sure its not just your gauge?

not completely, but i doubt its 35 psi off...the gauge isnt very old, but then again its not a snap-on. I just felt that it had lost some power, and afer all the hours it makes sense

smells like rotting fish

Bah, I would have ripped it as is for a couple more seasons.

 

[oxnard111]

which head are you running?

check it with a true snap-on. you don't truly know until then.

haha... i feel ya.

BJ 46mm carb with some porting from Art. New top end. You'll feel some increase for sure.

My engine was tired when I rebuilt and it was a huge increase.

Any porting right now will take some time. you should find a stock bore cylinder, send it out for the bore/hone porting. Then when you get it all back sell your old cylinder with pistons.
