    @slayer61- have you considered this?

    I think R1guy is asking about my thread to document doing just this... adding a DOT head to my GSX

     

     

    My bike isn't a commuter, or an all day rider. I'm too old and fat for all that. I do enjoy a quick trip up & down the road, however. I have added the 750 pump, and cooler to the mix. I'll keep compression and timing in check in an effort to keep heat at bay... or at least to a minimum on a short trip. Thanks for worrying about me R1guy!

    Yes I used 2nd hand busa mk1 pistons and conrods with a 2mm spacer on the bottom of the block. From memory the compression was just less than 10 to 1. Last one is making 260hp, 147 ft-lbs torque at 14 1/2 lb boost. 

    Because I don't know, and I'm not afraid to ask... with this combo of parts, what did you end up for a deck height after adding the 2mm spacer?

    In other words by using the gears as shown you get an increased flow volume of 10% at a 21% higher pressure than stock. Greater heat transfer, increased protection.

    Keep in mind, I'm a numpty old electrician... and not a hydrodynamicist or anything educated... but does increased flow & pressure ALWAYS equate to greater heat xfer?

     

    IOW can the oil get to flowing so fast across the hot surface that there isn't sufficient time to absorb the heat?

  4. I work in power generation. A couple of decades ago I worked at a plant that had a Caterpillar diesel engine as a starter motor for the gas turbine. The cat was a V12 configuration using a turbo on each side feeding into a pair of roots blowers, one on the front half & one on the back half. It was the craziest thing i'd ever seen. Sure wish I'd taken pics of it     :L

    i'd look for the cause before resorting to tricks.

    Just a few options, just narrow it down.
    Tank is leaking, seal between tank and tap, tap itself, or the washers.

    Mate had new washers leaking, turned out the mating surface for the washers was damaged.
    Filed them surfaces on the tap flat, solved.

     

    Propper troubleshooting skills right there, brother. Well played

    the black 83 engine i put in my ET you could see the welds on one of the crank webs with the clutch cover off. 

    Yes Sir, as seen below

    I had the clutch basket out recently to install the GSX750 oil pump gears on mine & had to have a look-see.
