To girddell or not to gri dal ??!!

[nikad58]

A bad week huh ?

Hummmmm is a extra $100.00 bucks worth the insurance ??

Blaster #2.. A lil grinding,sanding and JB Weld and it's as good as new !! (girdle's all the way !)

And SJ #3 busted a sleeve !!! can you weld it ?? haha ( never going to 84mm on a 61x again !)

Looks like the Whore is on the prowl

Butch, get a Lamey already... with all the engines you tear up it would save you a fortune.

I have a 62T 701.(yes it is a 62T) Need to be bored to 81.5 or 82. Can make you a deal on it.

Oh yeah...where is that flywheel you owe me? Got a Rad now so do not really need it anymore.

 

[waxhead]

its not the 84mm bore that caused that
just the lack of a girdle
but yes go a lamey
its what you really want anyway

Non girdled heads are a thing of the past!
i say girdle anything non stock.. pipe, head, porting, etc. Just to be safe.
Gridal studs and acorn nuts for all the merry men I say!
Domes and orings and sillycone... lol

You need a wooden head like this
its 100% pure rose wood
i know i know
it wooden work but it looks oh so cool

Hey Butch... I need a 61x sleeve! How about we deal?

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Wax has a wood head!! lol He said wood and head..uh huhuhuhh
and he said it wooden work...lol punny kind of guy.

if you spend $2000.00 on a Lamey you could save the $100.00 on Girdal head, you wont need w/ Lamey its not gonna crack. How about just going Billett ADA bigbore? For $2200.00 they throw in a girdle head.

Hey Nikad?

Did you really JB weld that cracked cylinder?

will it be ok with a Girdled head after that?

ive got one that is cracked as well, not that bad even, and I wanted to do that.

but feared it would get worse.

Did you stop drill the crackes or anything?

got photos of the repair?

dont do it, dude! get it welded..... using the proper technique, which is having the cylinder sandwiched between the gridul head and cases and torqued properly. i would think drilling either ends of the crack wouldnt be a bad idea. then weld it, but just a second or 2 at a time, then mist it down then hit it with a wet rag to let it get touchable. while its time consuming, it keeps the cylinder from distorting from excessive heat in a concentrated area.

JB weld will work in a bind but i doubt itll last any signifigant amount of time on the engine.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

Gotcha.

I was wondering.

It would have saved me a trip to a freinds shop with a High Freq box on his TIG machine.

Thanks for the input, and advice.

lol i missed that.. I was only kidding about the JB weld.. To me that crack is way to big to weld without having to do alot of mechine work after.. poof, in the trash
