I fail at the 4 mill build

[Josh Z]

Call a sponsor and get them to build you an engine.

build it yourself and learn the hard way. only way to learn i guess..

Can that even be the right crank? Theres no way a 4mill should hit...right?

So this thick base gasket, what is it going to do to my port timing?

[mikechief]

when you raise the exhaust port your motor will make power at higher rpm which also means less low rpm power . If your jugs are ported your exhaust was already raised and if you add another .040" you might have to get off and push the fucker to get moving shee'll rip your arms off up top though .

get a printable degree wheel from google , glue it to something solid ,bolt it to your crank and tell us how many degrees your exhaust is open

[mikechief]

same goes for transfers . If you raise the transfers you'll raise the power band . .060" is pretty sloppy squish too . Buy a cool head ...problem solved

[From Mild TO Wild!]

If the squish is .019 on stock base gasket and those are .024-.030 and I got .060 base gasket if my math is right mys squish will be .043-.049

[mikechief]

oh ok ..... I was thinking the stock gaskets were .020". Just keep an eye on your plugs . It'll probably be fine. Gaskets are cheap if you don't like how it runs change it . TDR has thicker head gaskets in a bunch of sizes

I had to clearance my case for the rod to get buy on my 58 115 rods. 5 minutes with a die grinder and bolted it up. No issues.
