just got my motor...

[Krandall]

Looks like operation Kansas City isn't going to happen, will know more in 1/2 hour

[Krandall]

Well.... It's been a long time-a-comin.

Plans were to pick up the quad this weekend. Raptor was started up today. Had a vid of it even running. sitting idleing, it blew the Head gasket again.


Also shifting bad into 2nd gear. Motor is coming out and completely apart again.

[NCHKustoms]

What makes the head gasket blow out again? too much compression?? idk..
and whats the story with the shifting??

is it their first rodeo?? 

[Chauncey]

Maybe they should talk with Garth Brooks. Pretty sure he's got "rodeo" experience.

For reals, tho.  WTF?

[Krandall]

No, its for sure not to much compression. its a point over stock. nothin crazy. He's honestly not sure, the head has to come off anyways to look @ the 2nd gear issue. Head is going to be decked/milled 1/100th as well as the cylinder to ensure both have a solid flat surface.

2nd gear. the guys @ idaho said it felt weird. but one other guy said it didnt. Roy (the guy who has the raptor now) rode it for about 5 mins and said it was weird. Probably a shift fork assembly inside supposedly. Beyond me. The waiting game starts over.

And the nuts kicking continues...   

[hillbilly les]

maybe .just maybe a head off a courier would work same thing right

[NCHKustoms]

or try a head from the granada.. that should bump up the HP 97 points.. plus.. it already has too much HP.. i wont notice that tiny bit gone. haha

[Chauncey]

Jeez, all this talk about horsepower.  Why not skip all the silly girl games and throw a Metro head on there...

Chaunce.. I want to be able to ride it in the woods still..

I'd consider putting a metro head on ONLY if I was doing quarter mile runs.

[hillbilly les]

people know , people just know

[NCHKustoms]

Is there an estimated date when the 4 weller gonna be back home??

[Krandall]

Before Christmas...



Naw, it sounds like 2 weeks. It depends on whats messed up in the tranny, if it's only a shift fork or something more.

[tink]

you put me on the weller and i will show you some mad tricks or mabye just a really long wheelie 

[Chauncey]

Or maybe a dude lying on his back on the gravel road...
