Title: Engle 125 and 44x37,5 heads Post by: pWolf on April 17, 2018, 08:39:16 am Just wondering , any experiences with this combo:
1915 cc 44x37,5 cb044 heads with matchported short manifolds Engle 125 1:25 rockers All msd 48 idas This is what i concider my backup for this season. Had anyone tried a similar set up before? Thanks :) Title: Re: Engle 125 and 44x37,5 heads Post by: DWL_Puavo on April 17, 2018, 19:09:27 pm I've driven otherwise similar but a bit of more displacement (82 crank) - at a whole it's a very good combo and I believe it'll rock with stock crankshaft also! You'll need to flycut the heads if they have the usual chamber size (55-60cc) to set static compression high enough (10:1 should do it) even with low deck height like 1mm. 46cc and 1mm deck = 10:1 static compression. Should run nicely up to 6500-7000rpm, idles ok maybe in 800-900rpm.

Title: Re: Engle 125 and 44x37,5 heads Post by: BeetleBug on April 26, 2018, 11:49:22 am Mr PWolf, I have a Web86B. Great cam that I think will work great with what you are building:
This is Web Cam's most popular "ratio rocker" specific grind, it drives like an Engle 120 but keep pulling! Valvetrain is not "Harsh", but not easy either. This cam requires 9-9.5:1 compression, and the more headwork and carburetion the better it will run. Nice 800RPM idle with dual carbs. This cam works best lots of headwork, 40x35mm or larger. Expect a powerband from 3000 to 7000 RPMs, the more headwork and carburetion the better the top end will be. Mvh Kalle |
