ok guys ive been thinking about getting work done by ken but i just want to do one thing without breaking the bank. not looking to go all out.

any suggestions?

 

[sheeblast]

porting, head cutting, new piston, new gaskets. and you are set.

i bought this blaster a few months back and the guy told me it has a 3mm stroker crank in it and i believe he said it was bored but not sure

 

[sheeblast]

you should check it and make sure.
also was it ported for the extra stroke?

 

[Blaster 01]

idk if it was ported how can i find out if it had a new crank put in and ported?

 

[sheeblast]

take the head off, measure the distance from the top of the jug to the top of the piston at BDC. then measure the same distance but with the piston at TDC. the difference in this measurement is the stroke.
and take the intake off and take a picture of the intake of the jug. we will know if it has been ported.

ok thanks. what units do i measure in?

 

[sheeblast]

metric. the world's units.

 

[Blaster 01]

ok thought so i was just making sure. thanks for the help

since im pulling the head i am going to have to replace gasket right?

 

[sheeblast]

yes you should replace it. but you said you want more power. cutting the head will help get more power. plus a HG is like $10 max.

 

[Blaster 01]

do i just pick up a HG at my local dealer

 

[sheeblast]

yes you can. but i wouldn't suggest installing the HG right now. if you are planning on getting work done, depending where, they will have a HG on hand and will need it to correctly cut your head and port your jug (the base gasket, which will need replace if you take the jug off)

 

[Blaster 01]

what do you mean by them needing the HG to cut the head and port.

who will need it?

 

[sheeblast]

who ever does the porting and head cutting will need both the base gasket and head gasket you plan on running. different gaskets offer different thickness, this will change the port timing and squish of the head.
