That is a huge comfort. After all that work we did to have a failed product would really suck.
The truth will come from the dyno and the compression test.
I'm also wondering if having a port and no tune is effecting anything.
I doubt it but ya never know.

Yea anyway...
Ray do you suggest I get a compression test done up here or can I wait to bring it down to you.
I was going to drive down there to get the air flow tested and compare to other rene's. Also wanted to pick up a whalbro pump and maybe some other stuff. Plus I need to treat you guys to dinner for all your help.I wanted to get on the Dyno as well. I'm thinking we can do all that in a weekend. sat:compression, dyno, dinner for the BHR crew. Sun: buy some crap and head home.

/\ yes , sort of . Depends on what the issues are .
The engine builder I have suggests that you stay close to home for the first 1/2 hr of so of driving to check for leaks or other issues then take it for a good long drive (200miles or so) making sure load is varied often .

Yea umm I was going to wait until the engine was broken in and I was on my 9k revs. Fluids changed etc etc.
I'm still having some hard starts but its getting easier and easier. I need to get new plugs and a few other items before I dyno it.
But yea Ray if your going to be in the area id be up for a compression check. when are you thinking about coming out?
