Well.. it may not get as many views as "Gangnam style", but there are some nerds out there, I'm sure! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr RxwPV4g | |

And now the Easter Bunny: 
Needs some grinding between the dish and the pockets. The dish has to be this large to lower the compression ratio down to reasonable 13,5:1. This set of pistons will make the squish appr. 1,0mm, which hopefully will prevent knocking.

I haven't been following your work. Why is comp ratio 13.5:1? Different head set-up, taller piston, longer rod?
Thanks.

Thanks. |
Because I wanted it to be 13:5. The short answer to the other questions is: Yes.
If you are interested, have a looksie at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQoPtR7LPco
There a some more videos describing my projects in my channel, if you're interested!
Thanks!

Appreciated
That is an older head, I can see where the seat is so close to the
water.
I wounder if the larger valve heads 37mm vs 35mm would have
more material in those areas?
Cheers spanner

one question - as I understood it, the Cannondale engine lives or lived on as a 450 - which make? I couldn't quite make out or recognize it from the video (first or second video I think)
