Banshee Bull Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Run a good 92 or higher octain fuel use grease on the "O"rings to keep them in place when you turn the head up to put it on and follow the tork pattern.and walayou got it.

Ducman Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 92 octane? Nope! you need 92 mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with 110 race fuel at a minimum. I'd recommend straight race fuel or at least a fuel 100 octane or higher. First disconnect the coolant line on the water pump cover (bottm left) and drain, then the one at the front of the head, then the one at the back. Remove stock head. Use grease to hold the orings in place and install o-rings. Clean any head gasket material off the top of the cylenders with a puddy knife or razor, try not to scratch the top of the cylenders deeply. Put a small dab of grease around the base of each stud. Put the bottom half of the head on with the domes already over the cylinders or if you grease them up and stick them into the bottom plate. They may stick to the bottom plate while you install it but may fall off, no biggie if they do. You may need to lightly tap on the bottom plate evenly on either side to get it to go down the studs to the top of the cylinder. Put another small dab of grease on the studs at the top of the bottom plate. Slide the small o-rings over the studs and push them all the way down. Next put the top plate on and put all the nuts on. Get a torque wrench if you haven't got one, or borrow one. Torque them down in the numbered sequence that is on the stock head to fist 10 ft-lb, then 15 ft-lb, and finally 20 ft-lb. Now your ready to rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlnoss Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I can still run premium gas up here at 5,000 feet with the 19cc domes right?? Yes. I think your elevation wasn't noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 After you get it all together, do a compression check. If you dont have a compression gauge, go buy one, they are good to have to know how the inside of your engine is wearing and such. Will let you know when its time to go for a rebuild. I check mine after every couple times of riding. If your compression starts to drop, chances are the top end will be on its way out and you'll need to keep a close eye on it for when to rebuild. You should be alright with those domes and that elevation to run premium gas, but do a compression check and at 160 on up I'd start mixing the gas with a higher octane. The higher you go, the more you mix. I'd say at like 170 I'd start running straight race gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
