REALLY NEED HELP, REALLY DISCOURAGED

[sweetshee4312]

yes i have a clymers......im trying to break it in...but its being a bitch. and its not doing right. the compression is bad, its new piston rings, and bore job.....done by jim at passionRE..... i just synced the carbs. i thought i was leacking anti freeze, but i dont know....

You had the cylinders bored to the pistons right?...Aka you gave whom ever did your borejob the pistons you are putting in there...I think you might also have snagged a ring..makeshure there are no burs left over from the boring and portjob...you'll have to pull it apart for that one. You should have never tried to run the bike until you got it idling properly. Now you might have just ruined a brand new motor...but don't loose all hope..you can just re-ring it and re-hone it and start over again. But this is a worst case scenario. set the air screws at 2.5 turns out and then adjust your idle screws until your bike idles right...this is assuming both your needles are in the same setting. If you run your machine too hard (which is ANYTHING over idle speed) you will trash your rings before they set..and you'll glaze over your cylinders...preventing you from properly breaking in the motor. AFTER your bike idles right..run it at IDLE for 2 min..then let it cool off, repeat this procedure and check your plugs. After that, IDLE the machine around for 5 min or so and then check your plugs and fluid levels. If everything is A O.K. then repeat the 5 min idling session and check it again. You should also run a rich mix of 24:1 during break-in. run about 1/2 gallon of 24:1 for your idle and LOW (LOW being the key you shouldn't go over 1/4 throttle) after you finish that up, switch to your regular mix and IDLE the motor check the plugs then put around for a day or so until you finish off that gallon of fuel NEVER going over 1/2 throttle, after that you should tune the carbs so it runs at it's optimal mix, idle the bike check the plugs then run it like you own it. You want to keep the mix rich and the temps low during breakin..allow the rings time to seat and then your done.

The blueish smoke on the right hand side is a dead giveaway...right hand crank seal for sure. DId you align the RH main bearing locator pin torwards the ft of the engine and at the seam line? If not it can suck air and oil. Check it out and dont lose patience, when you get that engine dialed in, it will definately hit the powerband and then some. Although it sounds like you need to upgrade that head very soon and gain the benifits of added compression, especially with that porting...definately...Jim

Didn't you say that when you took the head off because you thought

you had a coolant leak, that you put it back on with the same gasket

and used some silicone also to try and seal it on . That could

have something to do with your compression problem. How about I crate up my freshly drag ported engine out of my 04' and we just trade. Just built and runs like a top. PM me.
