Just wondering what everyone is working on over the winter. Any upgrades or changes?
We are changing over to 1/2" exhaust pushrods. Last year the 7/16 ones were bending a little. On the Big Chief head the exhaust pushrods get a little long.
Also changing over to a front mounted fuel tank from one behind the driver cage. That might be a little touchy with the ProCharger blow thru carb deal on fuel return. But we'll see when we test when the weather clears up a bit.
Other than that just checking the engine over. Did a cylinder leak down and my jaw hit the shop floor when completed. Best cylinder was 5% and the worst was 8%.......Man!!! I've never had that good of leak downs at the end of the year before. That's currently one happy engine, hope it stays that way for race budgets sake.
How about any of you new guys looking us over. What kind of rides do you have??? Hope to see you out there this year.
Blessings........Ron.
