  1. ..............it could just be the result of a DIY sex change kit from eBay. Did you ever think of that?
  2. Hmmmm........There must be a reason for this. Something must be pressed together. I still can't figure out how to get the thing completely take apart. :geek:
  3. Ahh, I did not know that. I will have to look into that tomorrow. :thumbsup:
  4. That is what I thought too, but it does not seem to be the case.
  5. I really don't see a porblem using it on your clutch cover as long as the sealing surfaces are in good shape and are clean. Some asshole keeps doing it to my engines and I have a had 0 problems with it. :biggrin:
  6. I didn't know your 10mm was actually running........... :biggrin:
  7. Have any of you folks taken a Pingel Dual Feed Petcock (funny word) apart? I have one of mine that seems to not shut fuel off all the way on one of the outlets. I have it most of the way taken apart, but I am not sure how to get the vavle out of the housing. A better question might be what is in this vavle that would make it leak like mine is? I was assuming there is just a ball valve in there this morning, but now I think it may be something more like a barrel vavle. One of you guys must have fixed something like this before............. :ermm:
  8. Why not just use Yamabond?
  9. Word. :thumbsup:
  10. Word. Unless your crank chamber is full of coolant, those two studs are not where the coolant is actually coming from. :geek:
  11. New tool room guys usually wind up having hard time finding the silver Dychem........... :biggrin:
  12. Word. Also, the thread might be stripped as they are a left hand thread and people are retarded.................. :geek:
  13. Mine cruises round the sand dunes........... :biggrin:
  14. That's alright Dave, I think it's for your mind to slow down when you get older. :biggrin:
  15. ......................I hear Dave likes it longer. :ermm:
  16. I have tried to give several things away on here and I could never get anyone to come get it. I hate the Post Office and generally try to avoid it, hence why I didn't want to ship anything unless I was making moiney on the deal. I think RMATV has a pretty good deal on the VF stuff. I;m not sure about eGay. I never noticed more power on or off the dyno compared to my RAD valves.............I did notice that they were lighter and produced less of a transient closure curve than a RAD valves. I did not notice a need to adjust my A/F at all. :geek:
  17. I thought I heard something like that. Good Post! :thumbsup:
  18. Word. .........and Dave, I know where a nitro methane distributor is in your neck of the woods. :thumbsup:
  19. My VF3's last as long as the reeds on my old Boyesen RAD Valves. I don't change them out seasonally. I would buy them again, but I usually get them for free.......... :cool:
  20. I am pretty sure Nevada titles ATV's...............
  21. ..............alot of that (temperature) can depend on what type of powder you are using. :geek:
  22. I like that! I may need to borrow that phrase. :thumbsup:
  23. I agree. With that said, I cheat and run a CFD simulation before I finalize my design of either sets of components. :biggrin:
  24. I have the pipes for my blue bike that were setup by Matt for what I am using for porting, so I am optimistic with respect to that part of my engine system. Some asshole whacked my case near the front engine mount when milling my crank chamber, so I am dealing with that right now on the engine. Hopefully, I can finish the program without too many other mistakes being made. I fixed the retract tool path that caused it........... At this point I am feeling a bit rusty with the CNC stuff.
  25. In addition to my other question posted above, what do you think about a frame like yours vs. a suspended after market frame with respect to rigidity and improving your time down the track? I think I am sold on the Lectron idea. I need to call Packard one of these days when I get a spare second. I have seen them before and am quite infatuated with weirdo fuel delivery systems these days. I appreciate the offer to borrow yours, but you know me, I like to fool around with my engine stuff more than most folks and would be afraid to screw up your carbs. As an update, I still haven't fired the engine with our stud project in it. I bailed on a hunting trip this weekend so I can spend a day at one of my dyno cells with that engine and the engine for my blue bike. So we'll see what I think of the studs then. I have a half ass plan to get a strain gauge or two on them for the test.
