Re: Melt down...
I agree with red eft also could the higher temps be due to you reinstalling the oil pump? Honestly fooling with that pump on a bbk is just a headache

Re: Melt down...
the stock head is way to small. your compression ratio will be above 12to1 for sure. add head gaskets to bring that ratio down so you can run that kit on pump gas. what did you open on the air box? doing that will lean out the whole jetting system. so you got 2 things going on thats causing the high heatWilliamK wrote:stock head and airbox...airbox has been opened up.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Re: Melt down...
Oened the second tab on the Air Box cover. Planning to add a second head gasket this weekend or as soon as it warms up a little outside. Also going to find or burrow a good compression tester cause my new one don't work for s***!bakaracer wrote:the stock head is way to small. your compression ratio will be above 12to1 for sure. add head gaskets to bring that ratio down so you can run that kit on pump gas. what did you open on the air box? doing that will lean out the whole jetting system. so you got 2 things going on thats causing the high heatWilliamK wrote:stock head and airbox...airbox has been opened up.
I'll keep everyone posted on the results. Thanks for all the input!
Re: Melt down...
Another update...Installed 3 headgaskets but CHT was climbing to 376 deg within 1/2 mile.
never had the left half of fan shroud so I orderd one and installed it. removed oil injector and filled tank with 32:1 honda injector oil.
Now after 1 or 2 miles she only gets to 306 deg. Very happy with that. Thanks for all the input.

Re: Melt down...
What was your compression after the 3 head gaskets?

Re: Melt down...
The lack of fan shroud was probably your major problem to begin with

Re: Melt down...
my compression tester don't work right, reads @110 psi but I can't trust it. Back half of fan shroud was a big help... topping out between 290-340deg.
Doing a slow break in...not exceeding 30mph for another 100 miles or so, then I'll see what she can do.
