Thinner Head Gasket

at least you can give grit size you used for best result

 

Have you found yourself with a head, a dremel, a beer on a saturday night, crosing your fingers that the bike will be faster.... if the answer is yes

you are a dremel monkey,...

 

Ahhh shit, i get this nearly everyday. Am i lower than a monkey then???

 

Tim the diference is
- You know your bike will make more power everywhere.
- you have lots of machines $$$ to test.
- your bikes are fastest... in a place where there is a lot of $$$ involved.

By the way... solved the tire problem your head induced... A new 190/55/17 Diablo rosso... the Diablo could not stop spinning.

 

Tim, do you raise the redline in your bikes? If so how do you determine where it is set?

I understand it would be pointless to over-rev if more power isn't being produced, but how do you define the line between power and reliability? You said earlier that the motor gets torn apart every 8 hours of runtime or so, but I'm sure an over-reved engine could blow in a shorter time than that.

 

O yea and I think I would be classified as a "dream tuner." But, do wet dreams signify a blown engine?

 

Yes where i can and/or where i need to i will raise the limit.
Its determined from the engine spec and as you said no point revving it higher than needed although overrev can be useful at times.
Testing defines reliability. I have seen 17,600 on the logging before on a cbr600rr and its not blown up, but then my attention to the valvetrain detail and design might be different to others.

 

Tim told me the best trick... we remove the rev limiter on our bikes, run them till they blow then dial it back 500 rpm and set limiter there. works well

i cant believe this thread is STILL going..haha

 

when you have the chance to talk to an engine builder and they are willing to chat open mindly......keep pumping until they shut up.

 

well thats a game i'd lose at instantly...

 

Tim will ask the naked foto of your sister.....

Dont ask me how I know...

And have a taste for big guys...

 

Tim will ask for them...I'll be the one that TOOK them

 

Ed... you are far more inteligent.

you have pretty girls in your shop.

 

You saying my girl at the shop is not pretty?
Rob is going to scratch your eyes out now bitch. Start running.

 

We need pictures to compare. Can you post pictures?

 

Belive me Ed has at least 150Hp more on this one than Tim...

Just look at Eds avatar...

 

I'll tell the bitch to shave and wax them get him to take some photos of himself

 

Ed had a nice looking babe working for him.....

 

Didn't she move back to Texas and start up an AC/Heating business?
