f7ben Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Todd Guthrie at Dyna-Tek performance is a great resource for getting stuff done sled wise. Guy really knows his shit and is a cool guy. Loves to talk sleds. I have had him order me parts like pistons and clutch stuff and his pricing is fair and service is great but what sets him apart is he runs a machine shop out back at his place as well. He has made me clutch pullers and alignment bars etc etc and last night I dropped off a set of heads that needed the squish angle altered. He just shot me this pic and said done..... I'll have the big cat growling by tomorrow night !!!!!!!!!1111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Also its guys with real knowledge like Auggie in this thread and Snow800 ....guys like our very own XCR1250 that really know sleds....these guys have provided a wealth of knowledge to us bottom feeders on the forums over the years. If I hadnt found this thread I would have had to do a bunch of work to determine I what I needed to have done to these heads to run 87 pump. But Auggie already did all the work so yay for me http://www.hardcoresledder.com/forums/406-zrt-thundercat/1108922-wtb-1004-wiseco-2403m08100-2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Sled is running ....sounds very nice. Much throatier and deeper than the 800. Got it full of coolant and made a lap or two around the yard and down into the field. Throttle response is instant and it feels great. I think this setup when dialed is gonna give a lot of sleds fits. I do have an issue with a gas leak on the fuel rail of the carbs and not sure how or why that happened. I'm gonna have to pull them out and see why its leaking. Also cranking compression seems awful high for what should be an 87 pump gas motor. Getting about 155 across all three when warm. Might have to pull a head and CC it .....I'll see what the triple guys say on HCS first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
