Billions of variables, but on the face of it, it's going to be very peaky, particularly the exhaust timing.

I:155/T:122/E:175 has always given quite a nice road tune for me.....

This is what I measured on my Mugello 192 V4 straight out of the box, I'm running a 60/110 with a 3mm packer and I'm lost on how get everything to a more useable level.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

eden wrote:the longer stroke explains why the inlet is short and exhaust is long, if you ran it with a 58mm stroke the inlet would be longer and the exhaust would be shorter, I hope that makes sense

with a 58mm stroke you would have something like

e 187
t 122
i 153

keeping the 60mm stroke and packing the top of the barrel rather than the bottom would give something like

e 180
t 110
i 164

transfers to low like that though IMO


packing half at the top and half at the bottom would give something like this

e 186
t 118
i 158
Doesn't look like there's an easy good solution - had a similar situation with a V2 with very odd timings.

Whatever you do, you're stuck with short transfers and advanced exhaust - more involved solutions could be:

1. Go with the 58mm stroke, machine a little off the bottom to bring the exhaust timing down, have someone open up the transfers to increase their duration/timed area and add a packer to the top to get your squish back.

2. keep the 60mm as above, but again do some work to increase transfer duration/timed area.

or increase the inlet to 175/180 as is at 60mm and have a rev monster, it will be good about 9500/10000 rpm
or send it back to where it came as its not really good for much without a fair bit of work to the tranfers

It's funny, well not really. But this kit is designed to run with a 60mm crank :?

Anyway, after a long wait to get some packing plates and head gaskets..

With no porting work either..

With 2mm packing I get;

Ex-188
T-126
I-151

With 1.86mm packing I get;

Ex-186
T-123
I-152.5

I prefer the 2nd option

Thoughts?
