yoo, im swapping my 172 kit over to my new disc engine, and i wanted to know if because i have a billet head its any different to putting on a normal kit, its a kb racing one.. it has 2 base gaskets one red and one blue so im a bit confused now because i know that is something to do with squish which i've never done before so it will need to be set, and also should i need to use a torque wrench? thanks in advance 4 any help edit: had the barrel off and it seems to be ported, mildly, but still ported imp: :w00t: and VERY fresh and scratch free edit again: crank on the new engine seems much stiffer that old one, when i got it there was some water in it but i emptied it out and dryed it all, should i 2stroke up the crank and leave it for a few days? or isit safe to use wd40?
stroke the crank and play about with the crank up and down and make sure it gets in the casings and i aint sure bout the squash sorry.
if it had water in it you wanna be carefull it aint killed your bearings personnaly i would change the bearings while the engines out but thats just me
that makes me wanna knock someone out, what about fitting the billet head? can anyone advise me on that
squish is the distance from the piston to the outer ring of the head.. poke some solder in there.. messure it, ajust accordingly
thanks minor, anyone know what it needs to be set to? and where i can get one of those pissy little measuring things? this engine is starting to piss me off, everything is so fucking old and dry, i cant even get the front pulley off
deffo rebuild time.. get a pan of oil on the go, warm it up (not too hot mind) then slosh it about the place befor you try strip it.. verniers can eb bought from anywhere really altho maplin are usually really cheap for em (like a tenner) to halfords 20 quid for the same thing (usually on sale somwhere tho so shop about)
i know man i was just thinkin that like 2 mins ago, but i fort this one would be all good coz it was standard n looked cleannn.. i just poured 2stroke into the crank and been turning it and its smooth now like the old one but i dont really trust it, i just dont see me being able to split it, EVER LOL
