What are you using to remove the aluminum?
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

swimming pool acid, and q-tips     its cheap.     eats the alum off VERY fast...    and wont touch the nikasil.

put it on.. when it stops bubbling,   the alum is gone,.


also very good for finding cracks    HINT HINT......   (on newly plated, cyls also)

"Thou shalt not run 2 sizes too small main in a 41mm carb on a K5 wide open down fire road with s**tty oil."     - ˭M˭  3:16


Is it okay to ask what size main was in it?

I could have sworn that I had a 170 in there......thats why I didn't even think to look at the jetting.  No excuses......still very much my bad!!

which Maxima was he running??

This is what I was running at 40:1..........


This is what I will be running from now on........



As far as coolant goes I was running plain water with this........


This is what I will be running from now on.......



OR



The failure of the water as coolant, the failure of the Maxima burning off due to low flashpoint, the failure of the owner to have the proper jets.......all these factors led to this end result :x

But we're working on it to make it all better. :wink:

Going to change your Piston window design..    I think the previous tuners design we are all using.. (no names needed)...    may be too large, and LOW    starving the boost ports to the transfers, as well as the floor ports...............


may go to a triangle shape.
