CHESTNUTXE 7,312 Posted December 13, 2017 according to the compression calcuator if i put the 20cc pistons in it ,it would be about 9.6.1,thats with 47cc chamber but i must measure the chamber as some are saying 42cc and others 48cc so i will sus it out. 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, then you've just created a whole lot more work for yourself... You need to Plastigauge the bearing clearances, as a bare minimum. 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted December 13, 2017 You need to measure the crank for size,buy bearings to suit then fit and measure then fit crank and measure. Or you could measure crank and buy bearings to suit and just deal with it co I know 95% of people building engines would do this. I'm not one of em. Most don't check end float just pull the crank forward and back and thats it LOL. 2 CHESTNUTXE and Valvebouncer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the out come will be a very happy xflow for me It was a cnc machined map of a C2 I think from the C1 also had cnc pocket porting . I can't remember anything about it other than the cam was was too small for revs but it had torque for days from idle to 4000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m waiting for them to bring out a digital tyre lever gauge It’s amazing what you can learn from the old blokes if you just shut your mouth and listen.A mate of mine is mad for minis, the real ones. They only have 3 mains caps compared to newer 4 cylinders with 5 therefore they are susceptible to crankshaft whip and cracking. The old school trick is to have a bigger clearance thrust bearing on the bottom compared to the top. I guess they know, considering they spin them to 10,500 rpm and they stay together! 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
