Installing Baby cub and crank

[Finch]

So im picking up a 68x54, and a 115 rod crank. Going to start putting it in when it shows up, but i had some questions and advice. Ive yet to split my cases what all do i need to get to replace crank, seals gaskets ect. (i figure on base gasket and clutch gasket). Am i just better off getting a complete set of seals and gasket sets? if so any brand suggestions? Also lock washers and clips and such? Its going to have 19cc domes(5000 ft elevation) until i check comp and see whats going to be the best application. New to cubs so any advice or input would be sweet! Im going to be ditching the t5s and stock carbs since i know that wont be the best. Probably going to go with some mid 30's mikunis and either cpi or shearers if i can get my hands on some.

Ive already got a +6 and some 10pdl haulers i think will work decent. Just looking for some more info cant seem to find much info on baby cubs.

 

Thanks

Mike, look over the bottom end walkthrough in my signature. It will show you most of the parts that will need to be replaced like lock washers and such... We could skip riding this weekend and you can bring your box ofparts to my place and we can assemble your new motor. I have all the parts and stuff you would need.

haha if only you weren't a days drive away!

[BigRed350x]

A days drive isnt bad for pizza, monster, and engine building. I have all the little specialty tools and sockets and crap you need, plus all the seals and gaskets and random little crap.

How far are ya from sl?

[vulvafan537240]

sounds like and offer i wouldnt refuse. the gasket kit wont have the correct base gasket though. youll need to ask the previous owner which thickness gasket he ran to give you the correct squish.

[Finch]

ya for sure. I did read on cp's site says .012 for the 115 rod

[vulvafan537240]

Depends on the domes

Haha comedy..

Haha comedy..

Well lets hear it Mr Expert.

 

If I was a builder I would be embarrassed to have my name come out of your mouth. Cocky and ignorance never work together.

Bottom line he runs his mouthin my thread like he knows this and that about what i got goin on. And now this? Get real coupe.

[Finch]

Ya for sure let's here is mister? But back to subject previous owner had no idea on base gasket? So what's best guess go off cp and get a .012 then check squish? Or any other suggest?

[possum]

Finch. Im being totally nice here. No hard feelings ok. Here goes.

 

Check deck height with no gasket. Check squish of domes. Pick a gasket that lands u where u wanna be as far as squish after u do the math. I hope that helps. Ur durations will move slightly with different gaskets but .012 should be as cast timings still. "should be" but i dont know ur setup.
