Full bore to the top, whip around and let it compression brake on the way down, flooring it once in a while. Then whip around at the bottom and head back up. My hill is about 2 miles long, pretty steep. I usually do this 3-4 times depending on traffic and outside temps. It needs to get good and hot. I have never had a problem seating the rings with this procedure, and I rarely have a any form of excess crankcase pressure.

Actually just did that on one of the back country roads near my house.

You need to change your oil if you have 93000 miles on it.  |
Warmer day today. 80
Took it on a longer run and temps hit 180....fan turned on. Oil got to almost 190 before the fan took effect. It's running fine.

Hahaha...I'm out of town. Working a contract in California. I've only had a little bit of time to work on it the couple of times I've come home. In town now because I have my inprocessing for my new full time job here in Oregon tomorrow morning. Still have the 2nd oil change of break in oil in it because I've only driven it about 30 miles or so. Just took it out and flogged it a bit to seat the rings. Oil hit 180 and the fan turned on and kept it under 190. Head temps hit the 290's. I'm extremely happy with the motor. Looking forward to getting my magnaspark back from cb...that thing is smooth when it works.

Chased a ticking noise that went away when #2 spark plug was pulled. You'll never guess what all I did and looked for. Exhaust leak. On a positive note, rod bearing look great. Chambers show good mixture. Thorsten Pieper took steel lifters and SLR cam look awesome. Cam still looks new out of the box. Anyway, used shitty exhaust gaskets that I'll never use again. Put copper on it now.

All that grunt is not just the cam, the heads are also a large part of it. Also who says 48mm carbs can’t have a strong low end.

Wait.
Am I reading this right?
You took apart a good running engine just to see if everything was wearing in correctly?
Dude I understand that you have time on your hands with your work schedule.
But, why not just build a solid engine ( and you have done that) and just drive the car for a while?
I don't get this line of thinking. But hey it's a hobby, right?

I think hes saying he had a ticking noise, thought it was something internal so he pulled the engine out and complete teardown by mistake cause it was just a exhaust leak. |

No, you're not reading it right. I certainly didn't take the motor apart...just a cylinder head taken off to get to a wrist pin and rod. When I did that I could see signs that everything was fine. I freaked, never heard an exhaust leak like that. I also took the rocker assembly on that side off and double check it. Checked rocker arm cups...pushrods. Sounded metallic...but hey, I'm getting older and the ears aren't what they used to be. Motor is already back together....simply cleaned mating surfaces of both cylinders and resealed with fresh sealant. Torqued head down and the rest is history. Still a good running motor....only now it has copper exhaust gaskets and no exhaust leak ....and not those two metal sided gaskets that AA sent with the sidewinder.
I was basically poking fun at myself for freaking when there was no need.

Exactly what I was saying except it wasnt a complete teardown...just a cylinder head an rod check.

Yep ..smaller valves than the super pros...less port volume, more speed. Better for low rpm power and matches the cam.These 48' have smaller ventures than what was in the 45's also. 37mm vs 38

Tume on the 2332 is almost there. Right now it has 62.5 idles 165 mains and 200 airs. Plugs show a slight rich condition at idle.....they look rich after idling it they look perfect after a wide open throttle AMD immediate shut off. Will be putting 60 idles in as soon as I get back home in a couple of weeks. Will be following John's advice and running the 60 idles for a couple hundred miles. They'll either be perfect or I'll end up with 58 idles.
Motor is impressive to say the least. Has torque from idle all the way to 6 grand. Feels like a tad of a drop off around 6400. Nice driver. Anybody want to hear it I posted a crappy cell phone video on my Facebook page
Christother Wesley Roberts.....I'll get a better video up when I get home. I'll tape my cell up to record better and I'll make a couple different runs to show the power and response of this motor.

I'll figure out some way to mount my video camera for the next time. Hard to go through the gears while holding a phone.

Drove up to Kent, Washington from Salem for VW Nationals this past weekend. Didn't race because I was having a ticking noise that wouldn't go away. Got home last night and checked it out. #4 exhaust valve pushrod. I have the so called high performance dual taper pushrods .....pushrod emd is pushing into the pushrod. Effectively shortening it and increasing valve lash quickly. I adjusted the valves to .006 before the drive home from Kent and when I got home it was more than double that. Oh well, I have a new set of chromoly pushrods that are still uncut. I'll be using those.
