@ hueristic,
The pop-off valve and condensate return was in response to Seb's post about his deisel

My question to you is, have you done a leak down test for the valves and/or the rings?

Part of the gist of the article you linked did mention starting with a good motor

But for s&g's, rough math and I'm bad at math

Comp ratio at 1 atmosphere = cylinder pressure x the cc's of uncompressible H2O in the same environment + or - the volume of atomized air/fuel mixture at intake pressure = the amount of additive, or so?

To me, X does not still equal Y

Hey Seb,

I'm just a worker bee. All I know is that the boiler guys sh*t a brick if I leave certain valves open for too long

 

I'm trying to get all the gunk free first. I figure a 100 miles should do it. I've got marvels in there and all the clanking and knocking has worked it's way out but I think it will take awhile to free up the rings. This thing sat for years and was crudded up something fierce. So a leak-down test really won't be indicative until I get the valves cleaned. She runs pretty hot as well.

 

The only advice I give to you in that case, is go out and flog it. If she blows, she blows. If not. she's your girl.

Then treat her right


...and with 10% ethanol fuel. Aren't we all adding alcohol injection?

Otherwise, despite arguments pro or con, aren't we all just spitting into the wind?

Gawd, I love a good pun!

 

Either that or just buy a Blackbird or a Busa.......lol.

 

Perish, the thought

A pox on both your houses, Bordo!

Gawd! I love a good pun!

 

I never said get rid of the 1000F though Woofer......lol. Seems an awful lot of work for some more horsepower that's all. But as I always say each to their own. I respect others mods and opinions even if its something I wouldn't do. I hope Hurestic achieves what he wants to with his mod even though I have no idea what he is talking about....LMAO.

 

ROTF*****! I don't think I can explain any clearer than my earlier posts but I won't get to this for a while anyway as I still have to finish the Jag and I want to be able to ride the rest of the season before I blow her up!

 

This may help

W0W! perfect exactly what i need! Thanks man.

 

You're welcome!

googled "water injection for naturally aspirated engines" There's a few good articles about it. Eliminating pinging and de-carbonizing the internals seem to be the main benefit in that application.

There is a kit out there for fuel injected BMW bikes. It looks like the water injectors mount as a second fuel rail on the intake manifold. I'll see if I can find it again
