Hey guys,
I have a question which no one can (or will) help me with. Maybe you guys can give a hand,
First a little background- I race with my friends in a backyard oval track, the rules say that we can only use up to a 6.5 horse engine, it can't be an animal or factory race engine but other than that we can do almost anything.
I bought a 6.5 horse Intec, this is what I have done so far
Tillotson Carb
animal valves
arc rod
animal piston
dyno cam
built a pipe for it
I am having a problem with tuning the engine, I know it won't have much low end because of the lobe overlap of the cam, but I really think I need to raise the dynamic compression ratio. I can't find any high compression pistons, and I am not sure exactly how to measure how much I can mill off the deck and the head, could some one go over this? I have a dial indicator, how can I get a good enough measurement to be sure I am not hitting the valves? Also, will I need shorter pushrods if I mill the deck/head? or will they be allright
Thanks
