Just wanted to check out the new avatar. What do you think? I know its the little things that impress me.

LOL
 

That's pretty good! Just changed mine too. Not as funny as yours though!

Eric:rolleyes:

Eric, I will trade you avatars if you trade me motors:)
Your motor looks good!!

I doubt you want this motor. It's running great now but it has been giving me a lot of crap for the last 3 months.

I'll bet your MPI Mag hasn't missed a beat!:cool:

Eric

sounds like horsepower, love to hate it.:D

How did you make out with your engine.Did you end up changing the Cam?

Yes, changed the cam to 230/236 .578/.588. Then found a broken plug and had to have a valve replaced along with regrind all the seats. Detonation damage!:(

Anyway, now it is 100% and running very good. Playing around with props right now.

Eric,
Sorry I didnt keep up with your progress.. I am glad to hear your running and all is good.. Did Bruce step up to the plate for you? I know he got snowed under..

I am running, this weekend I hope to get more break in time on it. But so far so good.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

later

Dick, No problem! I havn't really kept up with yours either. Bruce sent me the new cam N/C. But I insisted on installing it myself. We still can't figure out why it isn't making 565hp(or even 540 w/new cam) like it did on the dyno. But it is healthy now so Im gonna quit while Im ahead. I think Bruce has done pretty much all he can to help. I just won't go that route again if you know what I mean. I think the missing horses are in the heads somewhere.

It's running 73.5mph(gps) consistantly on any givin day now. Same as last year. The Desk Top Dyno says it at about 510-520hp right now. Only noticable gain I see is acceleration is better now. And it doesn't use any oil! :rolleyes:

Good luck with yours and have fun!!

Keep me posted on results!

Eric
