    drill a small hole, say 2mm wide through the centre of the plug you put in behind the filter cover, or, get an efe cover. if the pipes are kinked or flattened in any way you will have zero oil flow and will fook your top end in pdq, a small bypass allows some flow of oil to bypass the cooler. the efe covers have a casting inside to restrict the oil flow that does the same job as your blanking plug, but even that has a small gap in it to allow circulation of oil if the cooler ever gets clogged.

    The plug I made has a hole. I did find that info on here somewhere. Flow seems ok, cooler gets warm and oil seems good to head.

  2. I am using the stock oul cooler ports. I made a plug to block the passage to the filter. I did install a crankcase breather at clutch cover. motor is fresh , maybe it will get better. just not going to worry about it then. just keep my eye on it.

  3. Hey all. got the 1100 running good since rebuild. the question I have is how hot is too hot for the engine temp.  I am running a Lockhart oil cooler with the appropriate mods room an add on oil cooler. 1170 wiseco kit now, temp gauge hits right around 240 f. of course it comes down a bit when at speed. but rises quickly in traffic. I am not really sure what it should be. I am using Maxima 10w40 convenational oil. what is normal for these engines? I live in Florida, USA and our summers are extremely hot. just now getting into riding season here and I don't want to cook my new motor. 

    Cheers

    Actually, when I say bellmouths, I actually use these. They work very well.You just choose the appropriate size to fit your intake and fit foam filters like these over them.

    Are these just a 3mm difference from one side to the other? Iam trying to source something like this here in the states. From what I gather the OD on the 36 flats is 54mm. Now, these only need to be 50mm long, correct?

    It was my local dyno guy who told me to ditch them. He said it would give me at least an extra 5bhp and improve the rideability and he would be happy to prove it. He was right.

    So, I should go with the 50mm bellmouths and the foam covers instead?

    I've "always" used the same dual K&N filters (RU-2922[set], RU-2920[single]) listed for the oilcooled GSX-R/GSX-F/Bandit on my Mikuni RS36 and 38 carbs. What flatties are you using?

    The intake OD on the RS36/38 is a bit smaller though than that of the CVs (55 vs. 60mm IIRC) but the rubber flange on the dual pods can be snugged up small enough to make it fit..

    Alternatively you could have a look at the sizes of available dual filters from K&N on this page and perhaps find a better fit.

    Some say foam filter pods are "better" than the cotton gauze type though.. (I've never used foam filters myself, so cannot comment on that..)

     

     

    I have the RS 36's

  7. Hey all. Just freshened motor. 1170 wiseco kit, valve job and racecut trans. Motor is in, runs good. It had a APE manual chain tensioner on it when I got it. I replaced the front and rear guides while I was in there. Question is, how tight should the chain be? The directions are impossible to do, it says to feel the chain on the guide through the tensioner. That doesn't happen. Should the length of chain between the cam sprockets have any play? I set it up with maybe 5 mm play in chain. Motor makes a whirring sound, not too loud, but noticeable.  The noise follows the RPM's. 

    Any advice would be great. Thanks.

  8. Found a set of gears. Pricey but I guess worth it. Transmission gets shipped monday. The spares I bought turned out to be exactly what I needed, so we will make one good transmission out of 3. Question regarding squish. I have read where squish should be .8 -1.0mm. I have never done a squish test. I have built a few motors, never had a problem. Where would I get a thicker base gasket a if I need one? Can I use multiple base gaskets? I am using the wiseco 1166 kit. Thanks for all your help. 

  9. Here is the plan. Valve job with port polish work. Measure bores and probably go with 1168 wiseco kit. 36 flatslides on the way. Also will be back cutting the trans. 

    Do these photos look like guides or just seals? The problem is only on 2,3 and 4 intake. Exhaust side is nice and light brown. My problem with trans is popping out of 1st and 2nd gear. I know the clutch is adjusted good, bike is only good for 7k before popping out. I am running a Lockhart cooler. Are the 750 oil pump gears really necessary for a street bike that will never see a race track? Top end oiler? What cams would be best? 340? 310? The big question, is a gsxr or efe head really worth it or am I just as well to work with what I got? Also, if I do the wiseco's, what would be the proper clearance for the pistons? Or is this measurement supplied by wiseco or suzuki? Thanks guys.
