It sounds good, what size carb do you have on it?

I have that engine off a pressure washer but it has a leaky stock carb and the valve stem (intake) rubbs the valve guide plate and makes noise. The plate is warn a little and I don't know if it's a bent stem or if I need a new plate so on the pile it went til later. :doah:

We could get a good read on the full 1/4 pass as the motor would fall on its face at about 700ft, which is just past the 1/8th. 1/8 mile speed was 69mph with the clutch slipping. Had a tomar TD-43 on it, but wasnt locking it up

Replacing the stock cam with a custom Isky Grind and a Full race port head with welded up chamber and made to a heartshape chamber head this week, with 1.500 intake and 1.300 exhaust valve custom guide and big seats installed....... it was stock compression too. so will be laying down some mad power this weekend, also changing to a Bigger 34mm Alcohol lectron and a Tomar Stellar 4 Disc Clutch....

pro69nova,want kid of valves are you using? hell 1.5 is a small block chevy valve size. are you taking automotive valves and cutting them down to size to fit?
nice video:thumbsup:all motor.................
nothing like scaring little people on a minibike

JD works for SI valves heh.

 

[minidragbike]

A 1.500" intake valve isn't that big for such a big motor. They are making them even bigger now, but it all depends on the rest of your motor.

i changed the guides and went down to 6mm stem its a 38mm intake or 1.496 i made the valves from blank valves we use to make custom valves...

He's right, i could have gone 1.600 or even 1.700, but this aint my full boogie motor, that head has a 1.850 intake valve.....

i have a question, great vids by the way you reshaped your chamber by having it welded and recut correct ? i am only asking cause i dont know the answer.so dont get mad . but i see a lot of imperfection in the weld like perocity or impuritiesin the weld. all those dimples in the metal won't hurt the head in any way will it ? that is the question.

I welded it myself, that may explain it, it wont hurt it at all, i got a little close with the tig and dipped the tip a couple times. but it wont hurt nothing.....
