Quick help with V-Force 3

<< < (4/5) > >>

stewart:
here is a picture of the rad valve with the reed block machined off the area is very small

stewart:
a stock cab measures about 40 mm at the intake side  of its bore  ..that is about   1.570  dia  the rad valve when cut like this has around a 1.300 hole  with a bridge in the center thats already removed from this one....these and the mossberger reed blocks are nice alumiun constrution but do not compare with the double  tip area of the v force setup

Friar-Tuck:
  :-D
  Thank you Stewart for taking time out to post piccy's & all.   I think sometimes it's hard to get the tone of a post when we spent more time in high school dreaming about cars and bikes & all and not really paying a whole lot of attention to english,grammer and the like.  I (Like lot's of other Guys) do our best to get our point of view across without being antagonistic or judgemental.   Some guys may be a little rough around the edges but certainly mean well.
   Thank you, and the rest of the Guys who "Know a thing or two, about a thing or two"  and put up with the rest of us tryin' to catch up!     
  There are quite a few of us who don't enter into these type of threads not on account we're not interested, don't care, or are just plain lazy..
   I (We) are grateful for you all are willing to teach/inform  us and just flat don't have anything to add of any value.

--- Quote from: kawi4ever on March 29, 2010, 11:02:41 AM ---Hi I just got my cylinder back from plating and my new V-Force 3 in, and when I install the V-force it is very snug in the cylinder, like the reed stops and too wide for the opening in the cylinder and when installed they actually are squeezed a little. Is this NORMAL with V-3 ? Please anybody that has installed these please let me know. Thanks ERIC  :?

Saturday I installed my V3 reeds with a 3/8" spacer and did not notice any interference or snuggness (is that a word), does the spacer alleviate the problem or did I get something wrong?

kwakman:
that looks small next to a standard reedblock and cage.I know in certain inlet places they make(4 stroke inlet tract/2 stroke ports) narrower to increase the charge speed but that looks like its been taken to the extreme.
