Damn Haha i need to check my email more I just pulled the jugs and everything looks pretty good top of the pistons were a little burnt but nothing out of the ordinary but the crankcase is full of oil so I'm thinking it might be something binded in the bottom end I've done the topend before so not too much if a problem just a pain in the *** but i'll pull the cover off see what she shows cuz even with the jugs off I can't turn it by hand I'm startingto get worried now. ....

Since you have the heads off might as well go to a .030" head gasket and bump up the comp a little... What cams are you running?

Default Update.....

  1. So as it stands today in my wild crazy adventures I'm almost ready av test start but along the way i found a stripped stator rotor, broken bolt in the rear cam (luckily i had a spare cam just have to go back to harley for 87th time) and replaced the tensioners that caused the seize in the first place! But I'm bound and determined!
