I would ask around your local tracks for any engine builders in your area.
Eric Goor is well known but there are lots of good engine builders around.
A bare minimum would be to match the cases and set the squish.

0.002" or 0.05mm is correct.
And there are better ways to measure thats for sure.

Is my information wrong?

Yep.

.007? You mean .07? A feeler gauge that is made to 7/1000ths of a mm is rather small... I've always gone by no more than .04 mm clearance.

Photos & Videos / TSM why do you ride a 2 stroke?

« on: July 28, 2013, 04:12:03 AM »

All the interviews were spot on except for Jerry's.
I would be carefull having your rider say that the 2 stroke has an advantage over the F.
The powers that be (AMA/FIM), don't need any ammo to keep cc v cc out of pro racing.
If he was meaning , Lighter/cheaper to maintain/more power & more fun, ( like the other riders said ) that is fine, but you don't want it sounding like they are "faster".
Lap times here and in Oz have shown the 2 bikes to be very close.

You guys are doing a good job over there. Keep it up.

Make sure you clean the bolt thread and where it threads into with something like brake clean to get rid of all the oil before you loctite it.
