Dicklez Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Tell me if iim wrong, but his sig says his timing is +8. That seems high not to be running race fuel. Especially with 17cc domes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 unless your running a motor built specifically designed to run +8 timing.....you are beating the fuck out of your pistons. Hell you might as well pull 'em out and smack the pistons with a hammer.....pull that timing down to +4 like stated above and it will be plenty of timing....

Schweet97Z Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 The timing plate is set at 5* timing right now. That is what Denny at Flotek told me to run. I was going to advance it to 8* run the 17cc domes and put the thing on race gas. I got a set of Cpi's and just looking for alittle more power and torque.

Jereme6655 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 do not turn it to +8. call a builder and talk to them....our site sponsors here deal with this on a daily basis and can give you the info that you need to know right over the phone....

So much for asking what we think he should do! You might as well not bother with the race gas because with 18 degrees timing and 17cc domes, you will be pulling it apart right away to put a new crank, pistons, and domes in it because when that crank lets go from all the cylinder pressure it is going to send shrapnel throughout the entire motor.

Schweet97Z Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Chill out man....its just a sig. I wasn't asking for you opinion with this thread anyways. I was asking for pointers on a cool head install. It just so happens I made early changes for my plan on the quad. If I didn't you wouldn't have been able to make me aware I was doing more harm than good. I'm not stupid but I will admit I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to these motors...that's y I'm here. PEACE man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Use Vasoline on the o rings. Do not use any assembly lube or grease. It can plug the radiator, vasoline will melt and disperse. Holy shit, if you are using so much grease on your o-rings that its clogging up your radiator you need to calm down and get your finger out of the grease bucket.
