yes, always always always put a new headgasket in if you remove the head. The headgasket seals by being crushed and once its crushed once its done. Glad to hear you decided to order a new one.

check harness to McX box, connections get corroded and come loose=doesn't receive proper fueling

Found it, thanks;)!

How do I change the title of a thread I started? Ex. Put sale price in title of thread and now need to lower price

Sounds like the seals on the turbo may be toast if it's leaking into the exhaust. Pull your intake off to and see if there is oil on the intake side of the turbo as well

Haven't used those specific weights but have others, if your not getting enough rpm then you need to try a lighter slug, typically changing where the slug is in the weight will change shift characteristics but won't necessarily change overall RPM

Water in the exhaust could be condensation unless it's ALOT of water. You shouldn't have much in there and once it is warm there shouldn't be any

200hp is alot, 100hp per cyl, not impossible but its alot in that little guy.

I've had a motor out but just for replacement, not for building for boost. have one out now as a matter of fact, it's in line to get a 2 stroke to be super light but id like to do one all built up for some serious boost

Exactly, get an a/f ratio gauge, preferably wideband so you can tune it properly

Any manifold line will work to hook your boost gauge too. Most of the vacuum lines near the throttle bodies work quite well for this. I wouldn't worry about a vacuum/boost gauge unless you want to know how much vacuum your pulling at idle. It won't affect the gauge and as soon as you come off...

If it's the sensor for your wide and then no it won't make a difference how it runs it will just make your a/f ratio gauge either inaccurate or non-working. If it's for a PCV or the stock one then yes it could affect the way it runs

^^^this, I just run the one I can get locally (Bosch) and when it dies I replace it. I've been dialed in for some time now but still like to keep tabs on things

How much boost are you running? And what are you gonna do with your old Motor?

Yeah not sure what size the thread is but pretty sure it's metric, everything else I've checked has been

Im pretty sure its metric, your talking the scavenge pump that threads into the motor?

No they won't be reduced that much in performance in 5k miles. Check the s/c belt- could be getting worn. Check all intake connections and boost gauge line connections, could be something simple. Have you changed your s/c oil? Would recommend doing so if you haven't

If your riding at 9000 feet and you have low compression pistons you can get away with running straight 91 octane. It wouldn't hurt to mix a couple gallons of race gas in a tankful to be on the safe side but it isn't necessary

how much boost are you running and do you have a head shim? And we extended all our intakes out the hood even on the stage 1 because they couldn't get enough air under the hood.

Head shim is probably cost effective if you can do the work so that you can run pump gas but it's certainly not "easy". Unless you have a hard time getting your hands on high octane fuel then I would def put a head shim in
