Mismatched domes and squish differances?

[slobanshee]

Bought some new domes(from site sponser) for a bump in compression in my cheetah. Well I ran into some variance in the squish. One side is .056 and others .064. So I swapped sides with the domes and the squish followed. So I put the old domes back in and got .053 and .054 on them. That seems like a big differance! What's everyone's thoughts? Please input!!

call the sponsor, that obviously isnt right

[quadgod211]

yea i would just contact and ask...it could have been a simple mix up or over look....any of the sponsors on here should make it right with no probs i would think

[Surfrjag]

im waiting to hear from the other person that has mix matched domes just like you. then you can both just ship the right dome to each other

I emailed the sponser and he called me this evening!! On a Sunday evening! Customer service right there. We spent about an hour on the phone measuring everything and finally found that one of the domes outside was hitting a water deflector in the head and letting the dome set funny. That's domes outside diameter was a hair larger. Ground that down and now everything's good to go.

now that's good customer service!

 

im trying to picture what happened. so the dome was being pushed into the o ring more on one side because it wasn't sitting into the head?

[slobanshee]

That's what We decided. It was causing the dome to set on its corner and not set flat to the cylinder.

So are we gonna find out who it is that provided this excellant service or what?

I would be concerned that the dome and or head is damaged if you torqued it to spec and the dome wasn't setting flush on the cylinder. You may want to make sure it is true.
