rik1216

cheers guys so a gs thou is about 225 so its 5mm to make up :-) just measured a busa and thats abit more than 225 so some to loose :-) thanx chaps rik

aye up all quick question how wide is the bandit arm at frame ? cheers

got a couple of lm shock links along with allsorts of bones etc :-) rik

yep mate the way forward haha

yeah will do , just confusing people say differing things hmm cheers again chaps got all bits so ill pop in shed and use an old 1216 1127 set of mullered barrels to get a look at this whole spacer issue haha

if so then the spacer will be needed as the gen 1 rods are longer :-)

hmm so thats standard rods with busa pistons ? no other alteration to barrells ,

cheers guys :-) soooo what im gathering from here is that 1mm squish on a fully built torqued down motor is good ? no problem with valve to piston clearance ? will do a full plasigauge test on a dry motor but im looking 1mm down to max .5 , its not being built to comute to work so just for fun and ive noticed the spacers do come in varieying thickness if needed , getting some good feedback on this much thanks lads :-)

and your also saying that correct squish is roughly the thickness of a gasket hmm barrels back and lets see , my calcs should put the piston more or less flush with top of barrells with no spacer so nowhere near 2mm i rekon :-) cheers matey

so what were saying is the actual shape of the gen 1 piston ( dished ) reduces the compression even when at correct squish ? so if running na the extra cc,s are at cost of compression right :-)

yeah i get this but the busa rod is roughly the same difference as the piston difference so should cancel each other out the only reason i see from fitting a spacer with both gen 1 rods and pistons is to drop compression which i dont want :-)

so why use busa rods why dont i just keep the standard ?

waiting for the barrels to come back and dry build it is :-) ( still carnt see the point of a spacer ) surely someone has done this !!!

aye up all got all the bits to do the yorkshire ( tight twat ) 1216 this time , im sick of being told differing on the spacer !! piston is shorter lower comp for turbo on standard rods but im running n/a so got the longer gen 1 rods so why are people saying i need a 2 mill ish spacer ? that in my eyes takes away the point in putting longer rods in ? pardon me if this a thick question or has been answered many times before :-)

yeah i got in touch with em , well the people who where them stock valves but flowed , were supposed to be the top guys in the time , cheers
