01bansheefox Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Pulled off the head, and one dome sits up about the size of a dime or a little smaller. It isnt flush with the head. This a big issue? and how do I fix it, if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkid78 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 You don't have it seated right, they should both be flush with the head. It can cause some problems, I had a similar problem with my Wicked Motorsports head. Takes some patience, but it will go all the waty down. Take a look at how it sits in the head.

01bansheefox Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Well how do i put it back down? I guess it has been running like this because this is how it was when i just pulled the head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01bansheefox Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Flip your head upside down where you can see the bottom of your plug. That circle dome is not even with the head it hangs down like ??? width of a needle. Its just not even put it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnoss Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I don't understand what your describing. Can you post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01bansheefox Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I do not have a camera with me.... Isnt is the dome? Ok i took off my head of a ProX Bigbore 409 Its a solid head that has 2 domes, if you flip the head upside down so you see the bottom of the spark plugs, the dome looking thing is not even with the smooth surface. I dont know how else to explain it... If you run your fingernail across the bottom surface of the head it will catch on a dome because it doesnt sit inside all the way.

01bansheefox Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Go here http://www.nossmachine.com/banshee_heads.htm scroll down to the 3rd picture It shows the head upside down with the domes, My dome on the left side is not flush like it is not in all the way, it sticks out about the width of a needle.

dlnoss Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 A couple of thousandths is okay but more than, say, .005-.007 could cause a coolant leak around the cylinder. Was it leaking? Is there some trash or something holding it out? If you have the time, you are welcome to send it to me and I'll check it out. It is a Noss Head,,,,right? -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkid78 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Try putiing some 2 stroke oil around the o-ring that is at the very top (where the plug threads into) then try to work it down. Like noss said a couple of thousandths isn't bad, I would just be scared it would turn into more if its not seated correctly. Just have some patience and work it in there I went through the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01bansheefox Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Ok how do i put it back in? Just push with pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnoss Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Is the dome too thick at the bottom or is the recess in the base plate not deep enough or is there something like a burr or something keeping the dome from seating in the head properly? The oring at the top will make it protrude some but if that's the case you should be able to push on it and get it to be fairly flush.

01bansheefox Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hmm I fixed it I guess, i just kept hitting it with my hand and it pushed itself back down into place, and is now level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
