Ok so i assembled my buddies engine for him the other day, and i havent pulled the plug yet.
It was bone stock/ stock jetting with a FMF slip on, so i jetted it to where i thought it should be, and the engine mods we did were, fresh 86 mm bore and wiseco 10:1 piston, stage 1 cam, new timing chain, checked and lapped valves, ported the exhaust, cleaned everything up good, and fired it up today. Fired up instantly.
I rode it around for about 15 mins and got took the temp (i felt like it was running hot but i am very paranoid about this since its the first engine i have ever done that wasnt mine) and the temp was 234 at the head.
Is that running hot or is that normal?
I just rode it around in my field, about 3rd gear most of the time at different RPMs.
Thanks!
