[hondaexryda]

hey im thinking of ordering a 416 whats the best company, i was looking at sparks but their JE pistons have 12:5 and every1 have been saying 11:1 is good, my engine is mostly stock right now, just a t-4 slip on, and whats the better hot cams for DUNES ? stage 1 or stage 2 ?

i have a 12.5 to1 sparks piston he did my engine and it flat out flies a lot of it has to do with his head work. it will smoke a stock raptor and pretty even with my buddies esr310 i would go with sparks cam piston springs and clutch or i can sell you mine

I got my JE 11:1 416 , HotCams stage 2 , Cometic Gaskets from C&D racing, They were real good to deal with, helped me out when called with any question..........I totally reccomend them BTW my 416 rocks , I blew away a piped Banshee by 3-4 quads, a Z400 by 5-6 quads..........I had to do it from a roll in 2nd gear though..........froma standing start I can't keep the front end down:D..........I personally would'nt go more than 11:1 I think that would be alot of stress on the factory rod.

thx guys, for the 416 stuff, im probably going to get 416 or 426, because i cant find a store with JE 416 kit with 11:1 and Billet Bike Works (http://billetbikeworks.com) has a 426 kit with 11:1 ratio

I think Colby at C@D racing said he sells a sleeve that starts at a 426 bore that way you don't have to use a smaller sleeve and bore into it so much. Thicker sleeve=better. If you go with another company ask them it they have to bore a sleeve way out to get to a 426 or if the sleeve starts at a 426 bore.

yes, call colby. he will have good prices too. C&D is the site sponser and the # is at the top of the page.

I just ordered my 416 setup from C&D this week. I highly suggest going through them.

call and ask. it will probally be around 120 for the piston, 125 for a hotcam, and 40 for the cosmetic gasket kit.

[Dave400ex]

Yep the Piston is $120, and the Gaskets were $40. I also got the Viton Valve Seals, New Clutch Cable, and Sparks 8 Plate.

Ya, i asked the guy at Billet Bike Works (http://billetbikeworks.com) and he said you do not NEED to sleeve a 426 it is only an option, is that true ? and would you have to sleeve a 416 .. ?

[Dave400ex]

You do not have to sleeve a 426, but it would be smart if you did. Also the 416 just requires a bore on the stock sleeve.
