JR very well written  I find the before comment from a Administrator unbecoming. Egotistical and arrogant. This behavior and smart arse comments only turns members and potential members away. It seems to never end with this Administrator. |

Yep and all those with all those valves where there for a reason high revving motor. I see your not a racer running with the dual plan manifold mild motor low r's at it's best. The single plan manifold has much better flow than the dual plans and produces more r's. I really don't want to argue with someone that thinks a dual plan is great. So have fun with that mild at best motor. I made no such claim that a Duel Plane is better or equal to a Single plane Manifold. or a "Duel Plane is Great" Agreed the Single Plane the HP picks up at A higher rpm and will surpass a Dual plane on the top end, thats a No Brainer!! The RPM Air gap with NO spacer makes Power from 2,500 rpm to 6,500 rpm. With the 1 inch spacer my 385 ci stroker makes power thru 7,250 rpm, Rev Limiter is set at 7,800 rpm. Low RPM?? Are you even familiar with a current Brock High Rise Dual plane manifold? So you telling me a Gen "0" push rod motor that Pulls thru 7,250 rpm is a Low RPM Mild Motor? This is also a Long Rod motor, Care to school us on Rod Stroke ratio's? Running a 3:73 rear gear in a Silverado TRUCK not even getting close to my peak power RPM ran a Best 12.62 @ 108 MPH, Its a Street Strip combo, with a 3,000 stall convertor, I drove it to the drag strip with open headers. My Shift point are 1,000 too low,( need to change out Governr spring), with a 4;56 gear and a little weight loss will be well into the 11's, Mid motor  I don't think anyone would consider that a " Mild Motor at Best" what do you think a current Z-28 @ 508hp, dry sump oil system with a 3:91 gear runs?? Mid 12's and its a $72,000 car. What do you think I do for a living and who do you think my customer's are? I didn't come her to argue with you, only to share information based on Experience, then you have to throw out your usual insults to me. Suck up the ego and lets share information based on experience for the benefit of the members, and get off my snit Im not here to compete with you, you no dummy. |

Hmm. Did not differentiate between a High Rise Duel Plane and a High rise Single Plane Manifold. Different animal. I run a Brock, Duel Plane High Rise RPM Air Gap on my 385 CI long Rod Stroker with a One inch open spacer. Velocity and Cylinder Charge. So what we have here is All Engineers for every MFG. in F-1, IRL, Moto GP, MX, SX are Wrong.  Remember the Six and Eight Valve Honda Oval Piston GP bikes? Cost did not warrant the little Gain. true dat. Yam, Genesis 5 Valve that was incorporated in the Mxr's up until last year went to Four Valves. It's not what you know its what you can prove. So show me the Flow Bench Numbers please. |

Attention Experts, Gurus and or Vendors and Experienced ones.
I have looked at these Ceramic Cylinders on many vendor site's
What I need to know is ( as it looks) is this a Alum. Cyl. with a Ceramic coating on the outside or is does this have a Ceramic Composite Plated Bore over the Alum.?
Suzuki used Ceramic Composite Plating for many years on there MX'rs
None of what I have looked at lets me know this important detail. (too me any way).
I already have a uninstalled 61mm Alum, Cyl, with a cast in Iron Liner, Nice machining and hone job, Proper piston to cylinder clearance.
But!!!! we all know these little buggers run hot and I am not a fan of iron Liners for there Heat retention and Thermal Expansion properties. No Bueno!!!
Best thing for iron is on the back yard grill.

Well sounds like things are going in a better direction.
When I stated you could have scuffed the Piston, This is not easy considering the engine is running in a bath of oil compared to a two stroke.
But more probable than breaking a ring.
Wish you well.

Chop the throttle and she goes lean
I seriously doubt a ring could break on that fresh of a bore, tight piston to wall clearance and tight ring side clearance.
sustained 50 mph then a throttle chop, I would think i scuffed the piston and that will scuff the bore also.
Appears you sealed up something with the Motor Honey. That is telling you something.
Lose the Mechanic in a can.
Wish I had better news for ya bra.

Ive sold Allot of oil here in NC
55 drum min.
I find it difficult to believe with these high end customers that there is no or little difference.
Factory teams aren't pouring out there sponsors oil and using something else for the same reason above.

This article pertains to cars, a different animal than a motorcycle or small engine. Most motorcycle manufacturers suggest 93 (premium) octane or higher. Ice bear recommends 91 octane or higher by the owners manuals. I have seen many scooters with a sticker by the gas fill saying 92 or higher. The bigger issue is ethanol, esp if the scooter sits for long periods of time. Around here we can still get non-ethanol premium fuel, the pumps are marked, For use in motorcycles, vintage cars and off road motors. As I said earlier, ethanol eats rubber, which is not a big deal in cars since there is very little rubber lines in the fuel systems now. Older dodge mini vans had an issue with the rubber fuel lines at the fuel filter, deteriorating from the inside out due to ethanol, they now use hard plastic lines. I use to be skeptical of this until a friend told me to try something, I took a small mason jar filled it with ethanol based fuel, then put a piece of rubber gates fuel line in it, put the lid on and let it sit on the self for 30 days. The rubber turned to mush. Now imagine those particles getting into the fuel bowl of your carb. And yes in the liquid state it will get past the filter. This is Spot On Gents. My peeps in the power equipment bis are selling a couple hundred carb kits a season and at least half that in New Carbs. My Kart days were on a Yam KT-100 Stock appearing Open Fuel. We ran Methanol, and you have to flush the engine with Gas pre-mix after the race. I see both my local Real Gas outlets are, Non ethanol 87 Octane is $2.49, 93 Oct $3.09 I keep both the scoot and the CBR filled,with a extra 5 gallons here at home. Static Compression ratio is not the only factor in Octane Requirements. Carry On! |

Got one in the fleet.
clapped out bore.
No Problemo, Advance Sleeve is in the hood, Debore to fit piston.
With + or - .040 tolerances not a issue on a hit and miss..
Ok Weathered in and Booooooored in May.
