orly? damn i thought 150 was good on a cold engine... i know for a car 150 cold is pretty up there...

Motorcycles run just a tad higher comp ratio,9:1-12:1.Autos run 8:1-9.5:1.Some of the hipos run 10:1.Hemis can run 11:1 on premium pump gas because of the hemispherical chamber in the head.Well guess what,most motorcycles have been running hemi heads since their creation.Our bikes run hemispherical combustion chambers in the heads too.That's why the GS has splayed valves.The GS is roughly 9.5:1 or 9.75:1.I'd have to CC the heads and piston to know for sure.I'll have to do it on the next engine I build.I'll post up my findings then.

He did say the valves were way out of spec so...

By the way... I'd be interested in a few parts from your old engine, mostly related to the oil cooler. I'm looking to build a hybrid 500/450 engine at some point for my race bike, and I'd be willing to experiment in the process.

I am most likely going to part out the engine... So I can PM you in a few days once I get some things sorted.

I am happy to report the new engine is running like a champ! Went for a good ride today and it was awesome.
