desisions,, what to do... some advice needed

[2strokecook]

ok well i am in a rebuild, i haven't even finished and there are just too many desisions lol the set up i have got so far ( not even assembled yet) is a trued and welded crank, very aggressive port,and bored to 65. ( to clean up mess i made :biggrin: )

 

A offer has crossed me today of fresh bored cylinders 64. , with pistons ( can't remeber series) they for the long rod, with a hot rods long rod crank that is also welded, with a little porting.

 

so what will i gain from a long rod setup? i want a pretty dependable quad , but i not affaid to work on it, money just gets tight some times, i spent the money for a good port job but which is the better bang for buck? i can get more port work that not the problem, just more money... any imput is greatly appreciated cuz i need to let him know soon...

 

i have a cool head with 21 domes and new adjustable stator plate/ stator, with new flywheel that is goin on which ever one.... thanks

well the only thing the long rods do is reduce the force the piston put on the cylinder walls, thuse encresaing engine life and reducing friction, a little bit of power. some people run it whenever they can, and some say its useless with stock stroke, but if you like the porting you have, thenthe stock stroke and rods will be fine.

what he said. long rod, however still very reliable... dont waste the $$$ if sticking with stock stroke, plus why go so extreme on the port job? you building a drag bike?

 

the decision you are looking for has alot to do with the type of riding you do.

It's not to extreme on the port job, it isn't drag ported, more like a dune/play with just a touch more, but may still take them back and get extra boost ports on the intake side cut in.... i believe i will stick with my set up, or buy the long rod crank and then a new set of pistons that will fit my cylinders, i like the sound of less friction and longivity.... thanks for the pointers... any other input greatly appreciated, thanks guys :biggrin:
