    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Thinking ahead - ring thickness?

Hi errbody - again. :P

So I have minimal issues with our GS300L, none of which involve digging into the engine. I'm just thinking of tricking out another 300 engine to swap in one day - ceramic coating wherever a flame touches, gapless rings, possibly a 450 gearset if possible(6 gears would be nice), along with the normal pod/pipe/jetting mods. Typical insanity in my head LOL!

So what is the typical ring thickness on these engines?
 
You got the insanity part right.

Info like ring thickness can be found inside the factory service manual. Purchasing one would be a good start to your project.
 
Doesn't a 450 engine just bolt right into a 300 frame? Comes with a six speed and everything.

If it in fact does, then we may just do that instead! Would the 300's 4V head be a direct bolt-on by chance? Either way I think Mama would be happy... and I'd likely NEED to find a Vmax to keep up with her LOL!
