    10.5 to 1 compression on 212 predator

    Hello, I’m building a predator 212 non hemi and need advice on achieving a 10.5 to 1 compression ratio, how much should I shave the head? I haven’t measured how deep the piston is in the hole yet because I already took the whole engine apart and I’m waiting on my ring compressor and other parts...

    HS50-62023 - Compression question

    Any one know the proper compression reading for a HS50-67023. Just rebuilt one with new rings(measured proper gaps and gaps spaced properly), cyclinder honed, valves lapped, valve guides w/in specs, valve gap w/in spec. Im only getting about 60 psi. Shouldnt it be more than that?

    Bullfrog Hemi Predator High Compression Piston

    Has anyone ever used one of these high compression pistons from bullfrog motorsports in a Hemi predator? According to their website with no other mods it gets you to 11:1 compression. I was thinking it'd be a lot wiser to do this than mill my head to get 11:1. Ole4 reccomended this to me but I...

    Are my calculations on compression for my 196 clone correct?

    Just checking to make sure I am not making a mistake on my compression. I am wondering if some one else can verify my calculation of my compression is correct. I am using a compression calculator for the math here. I am going to be building a 196 clone motor for a mini bike. I calculated the...

    Compression release working?

    I have a bigblock that rope started fine with the head cut .050 and 35# valve springs. It still has the same cam (.246 duration, .260 lift) with a compression release. I have a new head that I got cut .080 with the same thickness head gasket as before (.020) but has 55# valve springs, and...

    What's good compression numbers??

    My HS40 started out as a worn out big time smoker. I rehoned and used .010 over rings file fitted. I get 70psi on the first hard pull, 95psi on the second and 105 on the third. This is a hot engine with the throttle wide open and air filter off. Im guessing this is good??

    Predator 212 valvetrain question.

    Hey guys, I'm building a Predator 212 for a minibike. I'm going to be running 14cc heads, flat top piston with .020" lower compression height, and a billet rod that's .020" longer to account for the lowered compression height. I plan on running 1.3:1 ratio rocker arms and I was wondering what...

    Just double checking 10.5:1 compression recipe for Predator 212

    I am trying to decide if I should get my head milled. I already have +.20 Rod which brings piston flat with stock head gasket. Is having the head milled worth it? I want to run 87 octane with 10.5:1 compression.... How much should I take off .30-.50? I am new to all this so please excuse my...

    Old Briggs No Spark, 100 PSI Compression

    Hello, I have an old B&S vertical shaft engine (3.5 horsepower) with no spark and a hundred PSI for compression. The model # appears to be 92902 1140 01 7606 1704 but I'm not certain this is the original pull starter. What usually knocks out the spark on these engines? I believe this...

    Compression Ratio for 196cc Clone

    I know that the tolerances are all over the place for these motors so I am measuring piston deck height(amount piston in hole) as well as gasket thickness and head volume to determine compression ratio. My question is what is the average cutoff point where 93 octane can no longer be used and...
