Also a dumb question. They are cub alky domes right? Edited March 16, 2012 by volfan537240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilBanshee Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Is your engine broken in? YOu ll need 4 hours on it for the rings to seat. Makes a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsny83 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 No have not even fired it up yet. How much will it change ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 If you have .060 squish that is generally more than we run but not bad if its just a play bike. We usually run around .040-50 give or take .005 . If it is cranking 150 without ever being ran then dont worry about it. It would be 10 or 20 more with a warm broken in motor. A 421 usually runs a 12 to 20 thous gasket depending on the builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilBanshee Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 My 421 jumped up 25psi after a few days of riding. Roughly 3 hours worth of riding. Also make sure you break it in With lots of throttle movement. Lots of WOT!! Push those rings out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiDeTRIKES250R Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 do 3 heat cycles. start cold, let it run for 4-5 minutes or until it gets to operating temperature. then shut it down, let it cool completely and redo. 3 heat cycles and you should be good.
