Bill Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Im having it shaved and I was wondering how much to take off.I wouldnt mind running 50/50 for the extra umf,and what does rechambering do to the head? Quote
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Cut it at .030...if you don't mind running race fuel/mix. What is your timing set at? Quote
Bill Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 Well by the time I put the engine back together ill probly set it at +4. Quote
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Bill....you should be ok with 50/50....+4 and a .025 head. I wouldn't go too much more...unless you're prepared to have the crank welded for insurance. (Which, it should get welded, anyways....they're just pressed from the factory...) Even so...check the compression to be sure...each engine is different!! Quote
Bill Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 Yea I planned on getting the crank rebuilt and welded,so with +4 timing .025 is what im gonna shave it at.Thanks alot man! Quote
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Heck, Bill.... Since you're welding the crank, go .020. See how you like it...and check the compression. You might even be able to run pump gas on that, depending on the compression. If you want to go more...take it off, get another .010 taken off... It's only a little for the machine work, gasket, time and a little coolant. If you didn't want to do it all over again, I'd say .025 and 50/50 SHOULD be pretty safe...but, always check to be sure!!
