  • Happy Holidays everyone. I hope you are all well and really for the good time ahead. Sadly I didn’t have enough time to get the Avenger 85 installed onto the Banshee Queen. It’s going to be a tight fit but I think we can make it work. We are going to look at the Avenger 85 a little more and take a look at the Wild Cat 80 to see how she is holding up. We have about 350ish miles on her friends!! Not too bad!!

    Steel expands 3/10th slower then aluminum with same heat temp applied Avenger 85 is a minarelli port design. Took one for ride 2 days ago. Instantly purchased one off eBay lol😅

    Paul here, concerning that avenger 85-if you only run one base gasket you will most likely end up with a slight opening of your exhaust port on top dead center, I believe this to be the main reason for having to use two of them at the sacrifice of running the ring end gap outside the bore on your intake side for which we all know this not to be ideal, I don't know how consistent these all are so check yours out, you may have to play around with both head gasket and base gasket thickness to see if both issues could be prevented, I noticed this on mine prior to assembly, so check all your measurements

    • @grendelsgarage9723
      @grendelsgarage9723  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you very much. Yes, there seems to be a little bit of that going around. I ended up running 3 base gaskets to get a 0.83mm piston gap. First time running 3 😅😅.... they will compress over time, so I think a long-term solution will be needed. Thank you for sharing this info. It's important for people to know what everyone is seeing 👀 🧐🧐 in their kits. Ride safe, my friend!!

      Bell Ray grease for bearings hubs but the 40% molly CV grease only in the bucking bar... 5% or less moly for bearings or it's too much of a good thing... Red line molly assembly lube is 80% molly and used on 4stroke valve train and would mess up the bearings in a 2T
      One thing that many people don't know or understand about 2T oil is the richer the mix the leaner the actual fuel to air ratios are... For example I run say a 70 jet @24:1 if I go to 32;1 I'd run a 68 to get the same fuel/ air ratio more or less
      Full synthetic oil 50-100:1 in modern engines is because there direct injection to the bearings
      These MB engines are a passive residual oiling system so the added oil is wasteful and why there off road and non compliance etc...

      Hey there Jerry 👋 hope your day is good. I've stated it from the beginning; I am just a novice looking to learn and have a great time. You bring up a very good point. I will research this and, of course, learn because that's what's life about man. I do find it sad that you have to dog on people, though. That's kind of a bummer, bro. But of course, if you're willing to fort the money for me to go to automobile school, I would love it. Maybe we could go together and learn. By the way, it's a bolt, not boat, just a heads up, if you want to edit that later 😀 😉 I got you boo!!! Ride safe 🙏 👌 ❤️
