bansheejoel Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) i was wondering if there is a min. width for the bridge before it gets to weak. or if anyone is running cylinders with a narrow bridge because to tell you the truth, i just got my mint condition (by that i mean never ported and still on the stock bore) cylinders bored and ported and i dont want to have the bridge break and ruin the new top end along with many other things if that were to break and get into the bottom end. So if anyone has a general measurement let me know..thanks Edited March 17, 2008 by bansheejoel Quote
Fireroad Express Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 works like a top! wouldn't go any narrower though. Quote
bansheejoel Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Posted March 18, 2008 DAMN!! that intake is opened up for sure lol. yeah mine are a little thicker than that and my intake isnt that high so i think i should be good if your running that with no problems. thanks Quote

BellicoseBanshee Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Somebody call the cops cause someone RAPED those intakes....sheesh.... That would make me more than nervous. It is a good thing that is not an exhaust bridge, it would probably melt :nuke: , haha... Quote

bansheejoel Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Posted March 19, 2008 i went to another engine shop by my house tonight and they said they look fine, i measured them and there at 1/4" at the smalist spot. So i think im fine. let me know if this sounds about right. Quote
trex banshee Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 no seriously though,if you want reliability, you don't want your bridges this thin! just picture your rings sliding over the intake bridge at 8000rpm. these jugs are not going to last long! they're on the early retirement plan! hobit joke: - bridge is about as thick as a baggins hair first of all your rings do not even go that low. BDC is a few mm above them. However im with some others i would be affraid of these, little loose bore and some piston rocking at 8000 and your gonna have some problems Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Reminds me of that pic of the home made drag port where they totaly removed the intake bridge. Quote
nayr742003 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 what happens if there is no bridge what would it do? Quote
trex banshee Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 what happens if there is no bridge what would it do? no piston skirt support at all, which is never good. Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 would it be posible for a ring to catch the lip of the intake ports since the bridge is gone? Quote
