I'll be doing a similar motor in a month or 2. Thanks for posting pics.
Wonder what effect would you get if you ground down & flattened out (with devcon or something) the divider in the reed holder plate on the intake?
(top piece in pic)
I think you mean the piece in the center that splits the airflow out to each side of the manifold?
I wouldnt want to grind that down flat... that would create a major obstruction to the air flow through the manifold. If anything maybe slim it down a bit, but you would want to keep its general shape intact I think.
Or did I misinterpret what you meant. I think grinding the sides down slimmer could help but grinding the ridge down would not help...
So when someone say the cases have epoxy, it was just a preventative thing done before porting the intake? Basically, its not a performance gain type thingy?
so, does anyone use a non-metal based epoxy so if it lets go your engine doesnt blow?
And also, if you really wanted to increase air tract volume, could you not just fab on a boost bottle?
Crankcase volume plays a part in crankcase compression (and thus, transfer characteristics and performance) - intake volume does not.
Boring? :sneaky:
Dremel. Poor Matt's Porting tool.
I am currently working on the cyl.
