RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Thanks Ed...

The "groove" is (was) straight or actually at just a slight bias, or angle from the carb neck hole to the F. bearing opening...and was deeper and wider than any I've ever seen?

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

Hi Bax, thanks...but...actually, the piston (compression ) seal is great, and it still has a nice amount of pinch.

It's when the piston is comming down that I hear a "pssst" comming out from...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

I just got an older .45...it must be about 10 yrs. or so old...(guy gave it to me because he couldn't get it to run right )

I notice that when I flip it over, it makes a hissing sound, like the...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

I wouldn't be happy with 9,500...that sounds pretty low to me.
You probably know this already, but you break-in a ringed engine different from an ABC in that you generally run it richer during the...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

I've seen that guy on e-pay...the one who modifies cranks. The mods look impressive, and should actually help. Most r/c car engines already employ such "Turbo" cuts but the piston / rod is weighed...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

I got my assembly lube with the Crane cam I put in my 351 Cleveland about 10-12 years ago...:D

Actually, the Moly (Molybdinum Disulphide I think? ) is probably overkill...and if you use too...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

When I put a new cam in, I use a little "moly" assembly lube (the thick, gray stuff ) on the cam lobes and lifters, and a dab on each end of the pushrods.

After I have oiled my engines, I...

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

That's a good mount Buzz...I have used that type of nose gear set-up numerous times.

RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***
