pabansheematt Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 The right side spark plug keeps coming loose. It did it again today. I just had Millennium replate the cylinder, weld, deck the top, ect. New pistons, domes, gaskets, ect. 492 cheetah, +4 timing, 27cc domes. 160 psi. Always ran on 93 octane. Any ideas would help. Thanks Quote
Phelps Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 detonation. 160 is pretty high for 93 or could be lean deto Quote
pabansheematt Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 detonation. 160 is pretty high for 93 or could be lean deto [/quote) I ran this same set up for years with no problem. The only difference is I got bigger carbs. PWK 39's 165 mains, 52 pilots, cel needle. Can't seem to get it right. It holds air, it bleeds down over an hour or so. Quote
rubberneck Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 You mentioned they decked the cylinder. What is your squish like? Any chance you just got some bad fuel? Quote
pabansheematt Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 My squish is .42. What is causing this deto? And why is it only on the right side? Quote
Jereme6655 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 seems to be that your runnin a pretty decent amount of compression without high octane fuel. If it were me id get some higher octane fuel (liike race gas or 103) and try mixing it.....50/50 to see if that works.... Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 imo 160psi is too high for 93, 100 octane or so is what i would run also .42 squish, i assume you meant .042.... .042 is tight on stock stroke, stock bored motor let alone a 4mm with 72mm+ bore. like the others, detonation is the culprit.

fastquad02blaster Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 I'm voting on detonation too. If you are running ported cylinders, it may be a little different port to make a difference. I don't know. I'm just throwing stuff out there. Quote
pabansheematt Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Posted July 30, 2011 I think I got the problem figured out. ( thanks to Matt Shearer ) I'll let you's know the details tomorrow, after I give it a proper test. Quote
sleeper06 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Its gotta hold 6lbs for 6 min,try a dgh needle Quote
prssantana Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 I know it won't fix the initial problem but trinity has a thing that goes between the plugs to hold them in place. Of course if you weren't having the issue with detonation it probably wouldn't be worth while. Quote

Now if they could make something to keep pistons from melting. Quote
