1200 conversion hissing noise.
Hey y’all. I finally bit the bullet and bought the 1200 kit from Revzilla. My bike is a 2006 super low. Installed it yesterday (took me a good twelve hours) and turned it on today to start the break in sequence, but when I cranked the engine there was a very loud hiding noise that moved and sounded with the piston movement.
I’m really hoping it isn’t air blowing past the head or base gaskets. I used the multilayer steel head gasket supplied by s&s but when I look down there it looks like each gasket isn’t pressed together fully.
The pistons BARELY fit into each cylinder and it was difficult to push each cylinder down onto each piston head. Could it be the tight pistons quickly rubbing on the cylinder bore making that noise and will it go away with time?
This is the only noise I’m getting tho. Everything else sounds great! Air flow from the exhaust seems much more powerful than with the smaller bore.
