G`day and happy Australia day to all, i know this has been done to death but here goes. Ive decided to upgrade my dyna to a 103", after much reading i have settled on using an andrews 54h cam as i believe it suits my riding habits/style. I am now asking for advice in regards to head/piston combos. Here is a list of some possible options, i would appreciate advice from the experts as to the pros and cons of each one. Thanking you in advance Barney.
BUILD 1 - SE st1 kit, 54h cam and stock heads or modified stock heads ie- ccd and bigger intake valves.
BUILD 2 - SE 103" barrels, SE forged high comp pistons, 54h cam and SE pro twin-cam ACR heads.(95cc combustion chambers and big valves, including ACRs)
BUILD 3 - SE 103st1 kit , 54h cam and SE pro twin-cam MCR heads (76cc combustion chambers and not much else of a description, thanks SE).
Thanks guys for your advice, really appreciate it and as such have decided to go with build 1. After seeing Scotty`s pic of that piston im a bit concerned about using SE pistons, can anyone suggest more appropriate ones that would work with 1.9 inlet valves? or for the cost of it would i be better off just keeping stock valves, cc ing heads for 9.8:1 static CR and port matching inlet myself? Lastly the Andrews site says "works well with CRs up to 10:1, does this mean static or corrected CR?
Cheers Barney.
Ando, already have the TTS and have 54H cams and D&D fatcat on their way. How did you work out the corrected comp? have been looking on "big boyz calculator" and with your build specs i can only get 9.78:1 corrected, am i missing something or doing it wrong? also are you running comp releases?
Barney.
Cheers mate, i think i found the missing link. The volume of the piston reliefs (i think) , i based my calculations on -3.0ccs. Like Scotty said unless you actually measure you dont know, please excuse my ignorance. Im impressed by your build and am looking at doing something similar.
