Trinity shipped some of the valves with some long mounting bolts. They can end up piercing into the water jackets. I hand tightened mine till they bottomed. Then modded the bolts to fit correctly.

Well since you are only doing what you are told......that puts you in the 99%. Also you have no problem telling people to do what you do and that's just what you were told. When I offer input I usually offer my opinion and perspective on the topic, with my reasoning why and what I believe it accomplishes, as well as any testing I've done. I'm usually open to input from others because we all have something to contribute. (People are offering filter input and I'm open to all their input) But even when asked directly you rarely offer your personal tech perspective on a topic. I find it striking that you often claim I just parrot what others tell me. Yet your stock answer is often " My builder told me to do it" I did the math to calculate a motor's airflow needs in the live post that led to this post. Sprinklerman looked into K&N's specs on filter material flow ability. Your input?....You have said "My builder told me to" a few times today alone.............Poly. It's your website! You're not interested in offering those 99% the information that moves the topic forward and educates as well?

Carbs synched perfect with feeler gauges and jetting within a 1/4 turn on the airscrews baby!

I know you don't..... But why do you never gap plugs?

Yep. Oiling filters and cleaning up on the competition. I do it all. I can gap plugs and tighten chains too. That alone makes me near black belt status on HQ

Don't reinvent the wheel. Either buy a proper head gasket or get a head with domes and O-rings. Assemble the motor and check the squish clearance. Then do a leakdown test before firing the motor.

We're just playing a lightning round of Nutswinger Yatzee.

Well......thank God my filters fit perfect. I'm still looking forward to seeing a new brand of filters on the bikes that had filter fitment issues in the past. But I understand how it can be hard to try a different brand when the filters you have flow so well.

.....yeah that should fix it.......... Burn down in 5-4-3-2..........

Steer clear of the heavy cast wheels.

Usually you want the lightest rims you can find. Beadlocks aren't wrong.....but I've never popped a bead. I've had tires spin on the rim from good hook while dragging with only 2-5 pounds of air. But using gasket adhesive as a bead lube while seating the tires can eliminate that issue.

Since you finally caught on......... What if you were actually sold one off custom filters ment for a different frame/motor that were originally sold for cost and those were passed on to you by a 3rd party who took your full price amount and didn't inform you about the big batch of blemish filters they had aquired? What if that filter manufacturer would rather let you hate on him forever rather than tell you that the 3rd party seller is the one that screwed you? Why not bash the frame maker and insist that he completely start from scratch to retool and solve these filter clearance issues to improve his overall product quality? Regardless of the overwhelming number of people who never have the same filter fitment issues you have with your particular custom frame....... Just playing Shanye. LOL

I clean mine. Then I stick them on the hose of my shop vac and use the K&N spray oil to lightly mist the filter. The vacume makes the oil cover all the tight areas of the pleats without over oiling. WAY less oil than normal oiling.

That's why I test. Dyno, Dyno, Dyno We're not born knowing this. It's all about learning and knowing. Are you running your filters dry?

Without oil it's not a filter. It's just a screen.

Do we blame the filter maker now?

Yes.

The avearge rider can be down 10hp and not know it...... Experienced riders can have 5hp go un-noticed. It still matters. But the butt dyno is not as sensitive as people would like to think.

Ok, well either way I think a 6"-8" pod would really restrict flow on motors that size. I run the big drag filters F.A.S.T. sells and saw a 2HP increase on my 10mill Cub. Those big filters you're running would be overkill on smaller motors, but not a huge DM.

He says he has LED custom pipes. You believe Cameron just happened to be building a 20DM on gas and they tested them on that motor? Tyler's motor could be 18....but what difference does it make? I think it's a 20, but it's WAY more motor than mine either way. One thing for sure....it NEEDS big filters.

Like the world doesn't know what his motor is???? It's listed in the dyno section. You even commented on it.

Ummm Tyler.....

Bump

You wanna know if running a 6" pod on a 20mill DM will make a difference?

Not really a very good pipe. Built by Mat, but not his design. Those were built to Vito's specs AGES ago.
