Advantages of milling head?

What are the advantages of milling the head??
Just wanted to know might do it...

 

[brandoz28]

it'll increase the compression, giving more power assuming it won't detonate, but it'll usually mean higher operating temps.


a better option is to have the head redesigned, not just milled.

redesigned is the way to go... higher compression, better ignition of fuel and more efficiant which means more consistant burn and more powa

 

[royalt67]

Redesigned: Modification of combustion chamber shape and/or size for more efficient burning of fuel.

I thought you were getting that cool head? That has replaceable chamber inserts to modify compression.

you guys should say that a correctly cut (reshaped/redesigned) head will have those properties.

Ya i was going to get the cool head but if milling the head or redesigning is gives me more power then to hell with it, i think ill just run the bike rich 20:1 probably that way im safe...

i like the tires you got on the back there... and the rover in the background..nice touch

running any richer than 32:1 isnt gunna cool it down and will just make it run bad

bumping the compression by shaving .015-.020" will not increase the cylinder temp enough to worry about it. It will though increase compression enough to notice the difference.

Some simple mods that make the lil blaster motor work well are:

Shaving .015-.025" off the head. ($40)
Lightening the flywheel 1-2oz. ($40)
Advancing the timing 2.5-4.0 degrees ($40)
Setting the spark plug gap to .018" (free)
Installing a new Coil boot ($5)
Installing a OEM banshee left side carb (26mm) (on eBay for $40 for the pair)
Aftermarket Reeds ($40-75)
K&N Filter with outer wear (pod style $55)
Aftermarket exhaust ($150)

you run richer by using a larger main jet... we would all like to know how the cool head works out for you i would like to anyway

a lightening flywheel is garbage for trail riding. it is only good for drag racing.

also why use a banshee carb? it is the same size and similar design to a stock blaster. plus it had the hole for the choke tube.

and shaving the head will pump up compression which will make your engine run hotter.
when you are riding in 90F+ temps, it is enough to worry about it.



if you are worried about it overheating, run it at 20:1 premix ratio. this will help keep the engine cooler.
you could also use the aluminum tape and put it on the underside of the tank. this will help keep the fuel cooler which will help lower the temps a little.

my lightened flywheel works great for me in the trails...tough to get used to but gets killer high revs
