sleeper06 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's not to increase volume it's to give the fuel a more direct path to the transfers, I have seen that plenty on jet skis even do something similar myself ,aside from the epoxy flaking off the only thing I see wrong with it no oil gally anymore. The oil gally is the main reason I do not cut shees that way , will it effect anything I'm not positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) i dont know man. guess i look at it different. theres only X amount of time for X amount of mixture to reach the cylinder. by applying epoxy there, all your doing if forcing some amount of mixture farther away from the cylinder. time is not on your side at 10K rpm so you better make the best of what ever situation you have im not a snomobile guy nor a qaud guy but ive seen plenty of other engines. mostly mx stuff. never have i seen a oil galley as you call it. from what i understand, these engines are just rehashed old street bike engines. perhaps the galley is there from one of the previous older castings ? when they make a change to a casting, many times they dont eliminate what was already previously there. if you look at a newer cr500 cylinder it still has the water inlet cast at the back of the cylinder like they were using way back in the day ('85-'88 i think), but the water actually goes into the side. ktm was the same way. the newer cylinders still have a old water inlet casting in the side, even though the updated cylinder casting runs the water into the back. basically all they did was revise a '85 cylinder casting with a few changes as the years went on. it wasnt a total reconstruction Edited October 3, 2014 by registered user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Have you ever looked at a banshee case ? The oil hole sits at the end of a galley or notch or whatever you wanna call it . It collects oil from mixture and drips it on outer race of outside bearing, will it effect longevity of bearing I'm sure there's mixed opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Almost sure nobody was thinking of your volume theory , they prob did it to smooth out shit or fix poke through if they went to far, stock banshee cases are thin on the outsides and can easily go through while porting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
