    550's?

    People are picking them up for commuters. They are enough for the highway and very easy on fuel. Excellent for the 'daily driver'. That is what I got mine for. Terry

    Gas flooding cylinder #2

    The flooding of excess fuel into the cylinder washes down any oil on the cylinder walls and causes scuffing of the piston and rings in that cylinder in FAST order. It will not take long to destroy the rings in that cylinder. If you have a wet fouled plug in #2 ,...check the fuel pet cock...

    piston ring questions

    Mighty13D, I feel your question was a fair one. You wanted an answer to a good question that many of us have asked ourselves manytimes over the years. You just wanted an honest answer/ opinion as do we all. I see nothing at all 'out of bounds' with what you were asking. With that said...Go...

    81 GS750E and 1100E Gas tank question

    Yes, the '81GS750E and '81GS1100E body work are ALL interchangeable. My brother runs the 'red' '81 GS750E bodywork on his '81GS1100E cause he likes the color and enjoys the '750' badges on the side covers...but he is kinda 'sick' (a long story)..LOL,LOL. Terry

    To backcut valves or not to

    Duanage, you are right, it is a very misleading term. It sounds like the narrowing of the seat itself which would do exactly what you said , over heating of the exhaust valves. Not anything we would want to promote. Good call Duanage, you guys are on your toes out there. LOL,LOL Terry

    To backcut valves or not to

    Duaneage, I think you are missing something here. Back cutting the valves has nothing at all to do with the seats on the head or on the valves themselves. And has no adverse effect on heat transfer from the valve to the head. All back cutting includes is the removal of the un needed part of...

    Valve face recutting VS grinding/lapping

    Flago60/notabiker, Back cutting does nothing to the valve seat itself. It is a cut that is above the seat (45) on the valve itself. It removes the 'corner' at the very top of the 45 cut on the valve face. Has noting to do whatsoever with the valve angle on the head or valve. The 45 is...

    Valve face recutting VS grinding/lapping

    Nessism, no that is per set. Not expensive at all and will pick up flow more than anything you could do for the money. If you were to do anything for your heads it would be back cutting of the valves first, and then put a nice gentle radius on the short side radius, of the port floor...

    Valve face recutting VS grinding/lapping

    I am with you Ray. On my flow bench, my GS heads LOVE the Back cut. Back cutting the valves @ 37 degrees will pick up the flow just about 20% under .300 lift. Hemi chambers like 35 to 37 degrees . The GS's respond better to 37 degrees. Wedge chamber heads (V8), (chevy, Mopar, ect)...
