CR500 Kart engine rebuild

<< < (7/7)

sandblaster:
We were really excited for Friday night.
Jason and I spent a full day tuning...
It is running awesome.
So Casey (The driver) goes out and takes his practice laps.
He is all over the place and goes off the track twice.
The last time he went off the track he caught some air.
When he came into the pits he was really excited.
He raved about the engine and how good it ran.
So, the owner (Chris) was changing the chassis around to dial it in for the track conditions and discovered a big crack in the frame right under the drivers seat.
Done for the night...
That's racing...   :cry:
But, there is another race next Friday   8-)

LukeG:
No one had a welder at the track? Does the engine have to be 500cc or could they do something silly and put a Liger big bore cylinder on it.
As always love your work blaster!

sandblaster:
Thanks buddy.
As far as I know there is no limit to the CC.
In fact we discussed a Liger cylinder last night.
I doubt the owner wants to spring for one but I'm certainly game  :-o
Then again, you can only use so much power and I think we are just about there.

I'd really like to build him a KX500 engine so we could compare...
He might consider it..

Oh and nobody had a tig welder out there.
