Re: What do I got???? 0432290
I hope this isn't wear the conversation takes a turn for the worse!<br /><br />Would this motor be producing slightly less power than the 1.6l it replaced? I inquire because I never got as much rpm out of the replacement or at least as much I thought I should have. WFO rpm was in the upper 4800-4900, with ideal conditions getting into the bottom of 5K (maybee). It is one of a pair, with other motor running @ 5.5K @ WFO.<br /><br />Powerhead was actaully purchased as a short block. I installed new igintion components(except timer base and stator) and underhood wiring. Rebuilt carbs, new recirc valves, boyseen power reeds, new stats, new water pump, new exhaust seals, etc. Static timing (Joe Reeves style) was @ approx. 24 deg., verfied strong spark at all cylinders. Ran and idled smoothly and within temp, but just never up to full rpm?<br /><br />Did I get screwed on the short block? Should I tinker with timing? Re-prop?<br /><br />RW
