yup still learning and practicing. did about 5 port jobs before this one. 3 72cc malossi and 2 50mm port jobs,. for all of them i ported the intake bigger (remove material from all sides of intake + open up sides much bigger >thats where i find the most meat to take off) and do boost port all the wa...

Did you pressure test with the temp gauge on the head to make sure thats not leaking? When you did the pressure test how long did you leave it for yup. first pressure test were all dont with the motor off the bike. after i tried it and it ran hot i tried a pressure test on the bike with the spark p...

had a spare arnada block and decided to try and put it together. ported stock arnada intake to just a hair bigger than stock AF16 size. 2012-07-08_12-07-21_329.jpg cleaned up upper half of boost port to match corsa. this is the only thin i don't feel good about. when i did this i was going to run a ...

lol try a bigger pilot.. unported blocks can handle up to 55. Since your "porting" is only to a S block size, its still considered stock to me. did you really tune the carb? You told me that you build many motors and this is the first time you have this problem. You know that just because...

got some drain plugs and worked for selaing exhaust. pressure tested 8psi. holds pressure. put hondabon on everything (all manifold mating surfaces and base gasket of cylinder) switched to CT chrome. 28oko 52pilot (but highest idle at 2 1/2 turns out) i run it at 1 1/2 turns. 138 main. around the bl...

anyone have trouble with leaking gaskets on their CT chrome or black manifold? if so what did you use to get a good seal on the manifold? They always leak. Best thing to do is sand the mating surfaces with a block sander till they are smooth. Or you could put some silicone on the gaskets that works...

cannot find the right boat drain plug. tried madman method but still leak. i put high temp RTV with exhaust gasket and metal plate. going to let it cure and see if better tomorrow. On the other hand I also tested my ministroke 50mm and found manifold leaks. i decided that i am doing to Hondabon EVER...

pressure tester built. can't seem to seal exhaust good enough to keep pressure. made metal plate with 2 holes and used exhaust gasket underneath to seal up sxhaust side. so far exhaust is the only area i see leaking. any tips for sealing exhaust? gonna buy big paper gasket tomorrow and try that... g...

using shell V-power gas. redline oil. premix 3.5oz per gal. all cooling/engine shrouds are good and tight. i use NGK B8hs plug. pulled the manifold last night and found leak at base of manifold. tested base of manifold and it doesn't sit perfectly flush with the block. I gotta find a belt sander and...
