I am rebuilding my daughters DRR DRX90. This is a 2006 model. I installed new crank bearings and seals, new cylinder, piston, rings, and gaskets. Also I picked up a high compression head. My question is, with this all togethor I have a compression reading of 210 psi. Will this motor stay togethor with a 50/50 mix of 110 race fuel and 93 octane? My premix is 32:1 with Klotz Supertechniplate. I just want to be sure the compression won't be too high. Thanks for your help.

you need to check the squish. at 200 or over you are asking for crank bearing failure.

Mark, thanks you for the reply. I think I am going to try to stay below 180.
