Yes, today it was cold and thought that I would put this really cool VXB 10X14X15 Needle bearing on bike. It's a bit longer than stock 13m, to 15m to kill some of the free play between piston once together. Well not from Germany (like I would like), but it's from Japan. It's a rated at 50,000 RPM. That's pretty close to tops on this engine at WOT, but it still will work.............lol
So, after I got all of that done, I put the Puch high high compression head on. I didn't use any head gasket. Uno, like Jag told me, it wouldn't give me anymore compression than the milled slant head I took off..........Its about the same now still, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENGINE sounds better + MUCH,MUCH,MUCH runs cooler in temp too!
Yeap, you chalked another one up JAG......................but I'll catch you on something yet. lol
All is good
Glen PS-I'm a big guy at 6' 6",260, and this is the first needle bearing I've done. It had 800 miles stock, and didn't really show any wear/or play? Around here in SW Va., it very hard to find many flat areas to ride either. THINK about that?
