so im getting around to being ready to rip my engine out and apart.
But if i gotta go through all that trouble of ripping her back out and apart, then theres know dang way im fixing it up and puttin her back together and wrestling her back into the frame in stock form!
So as it is, like they say, theres no replacement for displacement.
I've read around and purused the forums for a long time now, although its been a while, and im a bit fuzzy.
as it is, im thinking bigger bore, and stroker...
I mean seriously, who doesnt want to be able to brag, "I gotta a bored out stroker.."
anyways, to get to the point, im looking for recomendations as to which route to go.
On one hand, I want the most jam n power i can stuff into her..
On the other hand, I dont want to get into too much for reliablitly issues..
Id lean a lil more towards power and torque than reliablity, but then again, i dont wana have to rebiuld it every year either..
as it is, big bear oil cooler mod will be getting done, and i already need a new exhaust n header... (My supertrapp spit its guts out goin down the trail, and my header blew a chunk of itself out the side one day, and has been patched.)
Im also thinkin a new carb is in order, as mine floods out or something everytime ived tried to catwalk it, soon as i stand it up on its grab bar it dies..)
so I guess what im lookin for is some ideas and recomendations as to which way to go with the engine.
It would be a shame not to fix her up and put on that twist throttle i got for a gift for building the lil bro in law a derby car.. lol
shes also got a stage one hotcam in her, but that can be changed to suit the rest of the engine build. wouldnt mind getting the valves etc redone anyhow, and they probably need it.
i dont know if i should get the exhaust/intake ported? that may be something else i could hande myself if i can find some decent info on it..
as for my riding, i spend most of my time in the bush- we have some great trails around here! i guess it would be kinda like a "Hare-Scramble" .. i tend to ride hard and fast, lotsa twisty tight corners, mainly sandy trails, some good straight sections, and then theres the big main trail as well to get to the other trails n all that, which usualy tends to be a 6th gear flat out rip.
(Unless your idiot cuzin smokes one of the gates..)
so yeah, I've already sunk too much money into her to get rid of it even if i wanted too, and aside from the engine, everything else is in good condition, the only thing other than the engine is the upper a-arm, front bushings have a minimul amount of play in em, not even enough to take on yet. so I may as well bite the bullet, and fix her up good, and get a few more years outta her.. I mean i wont be able to buy a new machine for what it'll cost me to fix her up!
but yeah, anyways..
