    Fresh rings, no start

    I removed the flywheel and notice the key was almost flush with the shaft. I noticed on the right side of the key it looks like the crank is being worn down. Should I replace the crank or will it be fine? I don't know if I put the photo up right as it's my first attempt.

    Fresh rings, no start

    Ring gaps are in the correct position. It didn't really run, it just sputtered and shot a flame.

    Fresh rings, no start

    With the thicker head gasket I did notice not as much compression when trying to start. I know there is a compression release on the cam but I can still tell the difference. I never would have guessed the flywheel key could be the problem, I'll have to check that out next time I am off of work...

    Fresh rings, no start

    Well I took the motor apart, and changed the rings, and now it doesn't start. The timing is right, I believe the coil gap is right, but no start. I need help trying to figure it out without having to tear it apart again. I did notice the gasket between the head and plastic spacer is broken...

    I have a 3 stage candy cane right now that's hella loud. I really want something that POPS. How is a cherrybomb made and how hard would it be to modify my header for it?

    Make the motor sound different

    Just like the title says, I want to make my motor sound different.. More specifically make it sound something like a Harley. I know it will be difficult because of the way Harley engines are designed to produce that distinct sound. What could I make, modify to get something similar? I was also...

The engine was ran for maybe a couple of hours out the box before I changed parts. once I put a new spatk plug in the motor runs awsome for about 10 minutes, then it starts smoking and finally dies. I change the plug and its good to go for another...

    exhaust valve sticking open

    I can get a pic but it won't be till the weekend. The motor is/was a 6.5 gx200. I believe the "ridge" is from factory. With stock cam/rods/and guide plate it would run fine. I got the new cam to increase rpm and figured the chrome moly rods would be a good investment in the long run. I was...
