J-Madd Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Squish clearance 0.045'', compression 180 psi, ring gap is ok, +5 timing, crankcase pressure test is ok. I've ran a couple heat cycles, just making sure I've covered everything before I ride. This is my first time installing a crank. BTW I installed new crank seals and a max load bearing, and running 108 octane Klotz gas. Thanks. Quote

locogato11283 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 crank that timing up to +7 and let her rip! Quote
dajogejr Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Hell yes, throw some timing on her and let it rip. Did you get an override tranny too, or JUST a lockup? Very similar to my old 4mil, but I had 35PWKs. You're gonna love that bike! With a 6 over, it's gonna be fun.... I heat cycled mine a few times, a couple rips on it, and straight to the dyno....and just beat the tar out of it all year. Quote

I heat cycled mine a few times, a couple rips on it, and straight to the dyno....and just beat the tar out of it all year. JUST a lockup; no override. I hope I don't regret that. With +7 timing will it overheat if I just ride around while not drag racing (trail riding)........I know trail riding is not what I built it for; but it'll happen every once in a while. Quote

Not sure what you mean by bearing pins. The c-clips are in the grooves in the case, if that' s what you mean. The crank didn't have those pins in the middle like the stocker. I'm sure it's all together correctly. I followed the Clymer's, but I have a bad habit of drinking a few too many Miller Lite's when I work on it. When I know I've had too many, I work on something simple, like throttle cable installation, instead of piston c-clip installation Thanks Quote
Animalman294 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Motor building + excessive beer = oh, crap how'd I get the pipes to fit the intake's............ :yelrotflmao: Quote
theshee Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 You are gonna love that thing. I have only ridden my a little bit and havent had it WOT yet, and friggin love it. Have fun! :thumbsup: Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Reading all these threads about finnaly finished cub projects is really deppresing me :: :shoothead: .Makes me not want to get on the HQ no more. Quote

YOu might regret that, since it's going to be harder to pull the clutch when the RPMS are up there. Temps should be fine, use engine ice....but, you already know it's not a trail machine... Quote

badassbanshee479 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 yeah you will be ordering a override for sure. my bike would not shift with my cub and it was only on gas and no lock up at the time. bike looks good though man. have fun with it! Quote

Ditto here....badass will atest. It's a lot of fun...but slowing down...waiting to shift, etc., is no fun!! I had 5 or 6 people ride my bike at the track and dunes, and they all said the same thing, how do you shift this thing? My answer, often, I don't.... Quote
Alex! Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 So with the lock up you can not shift at high RPMS? Quote
dajogejr Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 I'm not saying you can't shift, but....clutch pull will be VERY tough...you're basically fighting the springs AND the weights of the plate...which is why you put in on in the first place. It is my opinion that a lockup and dunable override should go hand in hand. That way, you can bang gears with NO clutch at high RPMs, or...drive it like a normal tranny. With a cub, you gotta do something. I had a FAST Clutch and 6HD springs in mine, stock clutch stock tranny...and it shifted like absolute poop. You're putting double to triple the HP that tranny was designed to handle from the factory...somethin's gotta give. Quote
