clutches getting smokin hot on rev

[Caper11]

so how do i tell which domes are in it? compression test when i get it back together? the shell V power not premium? or if it is couldn't i just add octane boost?

I dunno how you would tell, without a p/n on the head,Maybe If you measure the squish with silver solder after the engine is assembled someone on here like glenine might be able to help you with the compression ratio, and I'm not a big fan of shell gasoline I don't like there additives it turns clear gas tanks yellow, stick with esso or petro-canada, but this is my personal preference.
I have no experience with octane boost, so I cantt help you there. sorry

i looked on the website and they are 3000-6000 domes in it so that should be ok right?

 

[Caper11]

Alitude is ok but I would call slp and find out what the comp ratio is, this is important in determining if a higher octane fuel is to be used. Or you can call ken at spectiaity sleds in edmonton he might be able to help you.

The ratio might be stamped in the back side of the domes if they are removable.. And octane boos twont help you out, all's it'll do is rtaise it like 1 octane. What you should do is run like 2G per tank of C111 if nothing else it's a good insurance deal incase you ge tbad fuel.. I know that ken gets all his premium at the husky in ST. Albert.. They seem to go thru alot of it,s o it's fresh.. But if you call slp they should be able to tell you what ratio the heads are for that alltitude.. If you need you can call the shop and talk to ken, cause we have cyl that have been renikasiled, you would just exchange yours and i'm not sure what the cost wiould be but it's not to bad if i remember.. Just dont want to qoute you a price cause i cant remember for sure what they are now..

Thats mohawk.. I'm not a fan of it.. I run husky in my truck to and runs good. I even seem to get better milage with husky over shell.. I just dont run mohawk in anything.

I think he gave it to you in one of his posts, if you didn't find out the compression ration take your head in with you so he can have a look. if you can afford it can you say 827 RKtec kit LOL

The 827's work well.. I beleive that is the kit thats in rons sled.. The only problem is that we've done several of those kits in the last short bit and are waiting for our cylinders that are in the rotation to come back.. They are out getting ported and resized and renikasiled.

thanks caper

 

[Caper11]

No problem I'm happy to help.

 

[dieselboy]

[glengine]

Not to sure.. Ken can let you know tomorrow. Cause i cant remember.. I concentrate mainly on builing and working on the sleds..
