Recommendations, boring, ballancing

I'm not sure yet. I would assume that cutting a set of 1100 valves would be cheaper than manufacturing new ?

In other news: I'm going with K&N RC1822 pod's and making new plates to mount all the electronics and one for a new larger tool kit


I've been thinking of putting the RR somewhere that it can get some airflow or maybe put a small computer fan on it.

I still need a good fuse panel Something with at least 5 mini blade fuses.

Why not just get new custom-made valves? BTDT.
Now much is it going to cost to have these old valves made to fit anyway?

Why does it matter Eric? What does this have to do with you? Are you just trying to start more crap with me? Custom valves are 40-45 each. Cutting these are a lot less. Try minding your own business, I know how hard that is for you. How did that Harley you worked on turn out by the way? Ray.

why do you think eric is starting something?, i was wondering the same thing , since he has done such a serious build, money didnt seem to matter it seemed
there are tons of valves that can be cut for it with new seats ect... im just wonderin as well , (nothing to do with you ray)- on the wondering part, i dont want you to get mad at me

I don't know what Erics problen is Platinum. He is always running his mouth about me. He was banned from this site once & suspended again once for 10 days after he logged in again under another name. I am trying to save the engine owner a little money & show people that a good quality motor that lives and makes power can be built without spending a lot of money. Eric & a few others here that like to give me crap dont know how to build engines & I guess they have nothing better to do than bring up my name. Feel free to call me if you have questions. My # is on this site in several places. Ray.

Did you notice that he altered his post above mine AFTER I posted? Ray.

Couple quick questions;Did you actually measure the lift 72 times to make the spread sheet?Please tell me you"re going to do the same for the new cam and post both,as it would be real informative to see the difference.Also ,I'm wondering about the 0.100" piston to valve clearance,is that because it's an air cooled motor?The only motor I've built is a car motor,and if I recall correctly it's clearance was 0.40".Last.are the valves going to be undercut for more flow at part lift?Thank's- Pete

I set the intake cam at center and recorded crank angle. From there I measured every 0.010 of valve lift change until I reached lobe center again.

Then I did the same thing on the exhaust side. and made an excel chart with both graphs together.
When I did that I believe I had the cam's back to stock.
104/101.

I'm thinking there is a better way to do it though, I just haven't thought it through yet. Maybe measure lift at each crank angle from 0-720 would be better ?

When I get everything back I'm going to reassemble and set the cams to 106/107 and go from there.
I'll check for clearance, lift, duration etc... and get the new numbers.

0.100 is in the instructions for the JE pistons. I can't recall at the moment what else determined that, Its a little early :P

I was bored so this is what I came up with

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Mini-Lithium-...89014061183566





e-Bay has lots of those for the RC world and this one is tiny.

Excellent, nice idea! I ended up with a single 10mm LED on mine as an indicator and while it works well, an actual voltage reading would have been nice too...

[gmansyz]

Volt gauge

Too Cool!!!

[Mekanix]

Installed



Its a little bright though. I might have to put something red over the display on the inside.

9.06?! Have you read the stator papers? Bypassed the stator run to the headlight? Checked the stator output at 5K RPM? Moved all your grounds to a common point? Wired your stator directly to your R/R? Oh wait...

[Mekanix]

lol Didn't have a battery handy so I ran the bike off of a 9v battery while I had the headlight out.

Hahaha nice!

Hey Mekanix, any news? I feel like I'm going into withdrawl here.LOL Hope everything's good in your world.-Pete
