Lowroll Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm not running straight 110. I'm not sure where octane numbers came in but I run 2 gallons 110 and 3 93, comes to 100, mixed 32:1. When it comes to the port, I originally asked for his opinion on what port to run as this is still a trail bike first. I just also like to race, Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Did you measure your base gasket thickness? It sounds like the problem because those dome specs are not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I did not. I admit, I was anxious to get it running and assembled it. I just checked squish again, on the left cylinder, checked in 4 places, 12,3,6,9 o'clock I showed less than .001 variance. From .066-.067, so perhaps it is my base gasket Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See where the edge of the piston sits in relation to the bottom of the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunatic619 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Did you measure your base gasket thickness? It sounds like the problem because those dome specs are not bad. What dome specs would be better, or what would you run instead? No being a dick or anything. Just curious as to what you'd run for better performance.

Surfrjag Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 there is not a better for any and all situations that why custom domes are custom the numbers mean 23cc 13* angle for the banshee piston .115" is the step that gives you the squish clearance what it doesn't tell you is the squish band width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot give a value but it's noticeable Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Surf, in regards to the width, are you referring to the flat portion of the dome inside the cylinder? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 the piston to port isn't going to tell you anything really since hjr may not have lowered the port yes the band width is how wide the flat outer portion of the dome is before it gets to the curved section and then the spark plug if that makes sense....

Lowroll Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I've done some reading on squish tonight, I know what you're referring to. I have 4 pieces of solder from squish tests tonight. The flat portion from the cylinder wall to the inner edge of the dome measures at .415, I checked all 4 and they're all almost identical Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 10mm is very common, what you need to be concerned with is that squish clearance though. if your step is .115" with a .020" base gasket and a 4mil your squish should be around .048" ish and its not according to you, sooo your base gasket must be like .040" witch is odd.

Lowroll Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I can't remember the manufacturer of the gaskets. I think it started with an S? I've seen them on banshee depot. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Found a picture I took where I can see the gasket set. G star gaskets. Can't find anything regarding them online, and it's different from the one shown on his site Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Okay, pulled the right side pipe, put a finger against the piston as I pulled the kickstarter over and the piston drops just below the lower edge of the port. I cannot give a value but it's noticeable Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Ok, if it were me. I'd pull the head and get some flexible feeler gauges in there to see how far down it is sitting. Say you get 10 thousandths to make the piston sit flush with the exhaust port. Taking that much out of the base gasket would not only make it perform better just by adjusting the ports, but then your squish would be pretty acceptable with 55-56 thou. What base gasket is in there anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
