>>>>>>>>>>> FROM Sean ; Hey listen up here ? This is what my primary
experience is with a buggy ? Motor,s type 1 re- buildin um too runn
in extreme heat of the Mohave desert and Death Valley . I actually
even worked in a shop that did nothin but re build motor,s for a guy
who is considerd as one of the top 10 builder,s in Calif . If your
bugg is blowin out the carb it,s timming or a badd valve that let,s
compression stroke blow out the intake valve . Bugg,s never jump
time ? Less maybe some one dropped a straight cut cam gear in it, or
did somethin wrong when it was built. As for badd valve you should
be able too see this by poppin a valve cover,s off and runnin the
rack , and or compression test ? As for 92,s and 94 mm piston,s and
barrell,s ? Ya need ta ask your self do you wanna drive it on the
street everyday too and from work. <<,We gett back too this ?
Another scenario here is bugg,s are known too crack the head,s
atween the spark plug hole and the valve,s ? <<Meaning ya cant run
um hott ? i runn 043 hemi cut head,s with all the goodie,s ?
<<Meaning cost me 800 buck,s for head,s ? Crackin one is not an
option ? I vaguely remember your previous post ? Somethin about
havin the motor out ? And the shop tellin ya you jumped time ?
<<<Not entirely impossible but highly unlikely ? << Unless some one
has done somethin wrong when building it ? Or possibly the use of a
straight geared cam gear ? Usual scenario here is cam just break,s
snap in half ! Like ta point out what i was told 3rd day on job
pullin motor,s apart for rebuildin ? Said, Sean, 3/4,s of the bugg,s
reborn again ? Are reborn again wrong ! <<, personally i beleive
this is an underestimation of the truth ! Probably more like 90 per
cent of um are wrong . Nothin worse than buggy motor that isnt right
? Nothin better than one that is right ! Everyone want,s a billy
badd arse buggy 2000+ cc motor ? Rich folk,s spend an awfull lot of
money buildin stuff wrong ? So much in fact that Subaru are the new
flavored cookie,s for sand rail,s. Ok too start off with 94mm <<,
Probably not an option for you ? as ya probably dont have the case
ta runn 94,s << Require a welded case bored for 94,s basically a
super case ? There 400 ta 600 buck,s and up dependin ? 94,s are not
considerd streetable every day driver,s as they run hott ?
Compression ratio is up on these motor,s talkin serious geometry
problem,s when runnin this big of a bore ? << If built right great
sand rail or street fighter motor,s ? << In other ward,s dont leave
town in a 94mm motor or good chance you will be towin her home ! Few
people have success with these motor,s as every day driver,s . 92,s
runn hotter than hell , hotter than the 94,s they warp, distort,
prone too excessive blow by , <<Mean,s alway,s have oil runnin out
your breather all over your motor etc. Basically good for nothin but
crackin head,s , smokin number 3 piston barrel ? A properly built
90.5 motor will leave a 92mm a smokin on side of the road . I laugh
at these motor,s ? Oh im sorry that,s what your runnin a 1835cc with
92,s on it ? LMAO 92,s are junk i dont understand why they even
still sell these or build um ? Education continued in next post
under 1776 v.s. 1835 Sean
