The question was asked, so I answered

thats a damn good price fo those of you looking for a solid swinger.

It is impossible to predict time. Once again you go off spouting rhetorical questions. It doesn't matter if it is steel, aluminum, titanium or any other metal or compound. You cannot predict time. If you could then everyone would know that their motor is going to break down ahead of time rather than after it breaks. There are hundreds of factors that are going to determine if a bearing or any other component gives out prematurely. Metal particles, how often they clean filters, how much debris has been sucked in, the type of fuel, of lean or rich they run the motor. The list doesn

It is nearly impossible for anyone outside of a lab to tell you the exact numbers. There are tons of things that need to be known, like burn efficiency for the type of fuel, to get a real number. Regardless if it is 10psi or 10,000psi, the fact still remains that when a force is being applied on multiple connected solid objects that the force WILL be transferred and that reducing the angle you lessen the amount of stress (force) being applied. Because I can't whip out the formula and give you hard numbers does not negate the fact that it remains a fact. As far as your bikes running fine, like I said the rod length makes zero for power. Nice job trying to toss that out there as if it makes a difference. The argument wasn

Physics and trigonometry is not my opinion brosif. Agree to disagree.

that will give you the stroke, but not the rod length. If you know what kind of pistons you run then it would make it ez to figure out. The most simple way is to simply look at the side of the rod it should have markings on it. Go on the Hotrods website and they used to have a PDF file and you could pull it from there. Is there a specific reason your more worried about the rod length and not the stroke?

The rod is a solid material, there for the force does transfer. It does not matter if it is rotating or not, there IS force applied to it. The difference is the amount of force being applied directly downward on the material. Because the piston, rod, bearings and everything else have tolerances and are not formed as one uniform piece, they all are affected by the amount of force. Just because I didn

These parts are absolutely affected. When you apply force to a solid object on one end where does that force transfer? The other end.... and what is the softest component between those two points? Those listed. If you lessen the angel that the force is being applied, then less of the actual force is being driven directly at those areas, thus improving life of them

the rod length does not effect lowend. The differance in the length of the rod is taken up by the placement of where it mounts to the piston.

a motor needs three things to run. Air, Fuel and Spark. If you are missing one of these it wont run. So start at the begining of one and start eliminating everything. I would begin with spark.

lower end bearings, needle bearings, wrist pins

there are ways. Do you know what kind of pistons your running?

Rod length does nothing for power. It is for what I previously posted. The stroke (location of lower rod on the crank) is what gives power.

if you dont have to take them out leave them alone. But if you do have to get them out you are going to chance ripping out the threads becuase they have been in there for so long. Take two nuts and screw them down. I like using the top one to tighten down on the wrench and the lower nut and back it off. Makes a little more work but I don't have to deal with the nut getting to far down on the stud and locking to the base. I hope it made sense reading, I know what I am trying to say but not sure if I typed it that way.

There are tons of different lengths available, but the two most common you

hahah that was freakin awesome!

No reason to pay retail for a set of ASV levers. Go on ebay and buy the refurbs right from ASV. I got mine for like 20 bucks each, and you would never know the differance.

what kind of arms are they? call the manufacture and ask them to mail you a few.

I got a belly button.

there is no need to spend the $$$ on a fluke multi-meter. Grab your self a Craftsman multi-meter. They will do everything and more that your going to need it for. Unless your in an industry that you need very accurate readings at specific outputs, the Craftsman will be fine.

another option would be to lower your compression some. Whats yur compression that you are not able to run pump right now the way it sits? How are they testing the fuel? Gravity test? If you can, try getting som 101 and have them test it out a few days before and see if it passes

pull the carbs, intakes, and reeds. Turn the motor so that the windows on the pistons are showing. Get some fuel line and run it into the cases. blow air into the motor and see if there is fuel sitting in there. Vapor locking the motor can bend a rod. If there is fuel syphon it out.

The Dominator 2 is the one that is -1 to +2. the original Dominator was 0 to +4

Alky is very hard on metals. If it sits in your carbs it will cause corrosion. And if it sits inside your cases it can cause rusting. So you wash your motor out by running gas to eliminate these.
