mhoksch Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 Out riding on the ice yesterday. Ran the bowls out of fuel and now have 120/150 psi compression. Motor is redline ported 370lr, shearers, 35pwks. Ordered a dual pingle and some new rings yesterday. Should this flow enough for me or do I need to find some big bowls too?

mhoksch Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Posted December 9, 2013 Wondering if I really need them. I'm poor. Will the dual pingle be enough? If I was just worried about "looking cool" I'd get some white sunglasses or something Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk now Free Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 Im going to bet you will need more than just rings Quote
mhoksch Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Posted December 9, 2013 I pulled the head off and the cylinders look good. I'll find out when I get home tonight and take the jugs off Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk now Free Quote
Larry's Shee Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Check tank vent. Maybe gut the cap Sure you ran it dry? Did you re-jet for colder temps? Edited December 9, 2013 by Larry's Shee Quote
RadarRacing Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 Never heard of melted pistons being fixed by new rings. Usually melts the face of the piston on the exhaust side and sorta smears aluminum across the rings and sticks the rings in the piston. You may not have done any damage at all if the cyls look good. You will have to look at the front side of the pistons. That can also be done by just taking the exhaust off. Quote
mhoksch Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Posted December 9, 2013 Vent is clear, I'll gut the cap tonight (hadn't thought of that thanks). I'm just going to get the bowls to be safe I guess. And yes I rejetted for the weather. I'm almost positive I ran it dry. Was going around the track for about 3 laps at almost wot the whole time Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk now Free Quote
mhoksch Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Posted December 9, 2013 I'll throw up some pics on here when I get home and see the extent of the damage. Good thing I have a month before racing starts Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk now Free Quote
