Thanks
for the insight. I just ordered 9.5:1 pistons from Lycon. I decided
to be a bit more conservative than the 10:1 they recommend. What did you
do to your timing to get comfortable with such a higher compression
ratio?
As for
horsepower, I'll be happy if I just have my stock 200 hp. I've been flying
with half a cam lobe on the rear intake, and have probably been giving up quite
a bit of power.
My cylinders are currently ported
and polished, with a grand total of about 75 hours on them since overhaul.
But since my engine was making metal, it is questionable whether or not they can
be rehoned. I am planning to just put in new cylinders - not ported nor
polished. I am kinda gun-shy now, having just sunk a ton of money in
that is being thrown away.
I wonder what I will give up without the port and polish, but again, I
think I'll be perfectly happy with the stock hp if I can just get
that...
Matt
