Just want to share the work I got back from VulcanWorks. They drilled out, tapped and installed a pair of MCR valves on some take of heads I bought. The heads are going into my 103" stage II build, which also includes a primary rebuild. They did a super job and turn around time was amazing. They received on Thursday and back in my hands on Monday. As a retired aircraft inspector, believe me when I tell you that I found no spec's of metal dust from the drilling anywhere and I looked in every hole, crevasse, seam, etc. Super, super job.

Sweet man

 

Good work. I think I would like manual releases if I need them.

 

nice plug for the business. ill keep them in mind

 

Purdy. Keep us updated on the build Top.

 

I don't know what kind of compression you are running, but my static is 10.5:1 with a stage 2 build and I am running no comp. release with the stock starter. I have no cranking issues. What kind of comp. ratio are you building to?

 

What is your ccp? Generally 185 is the threshold for cr's. You may just be lucky. Very cheap insurance while the heads are off...

 

What is the reason for these...
I mean, if you had these done... What would... Are you doing to a motor... I am asking, because my nephews bike...
Has these on is 99 fxdx.
Mikuni carb, v&h 2 into 1
The bike is amazingly fast...
But he bought it used...
Just trying to figure out, why and possibly what.

 

Why wouldn't you go with the automatic version? are they no good?

 

For my money the manuals are the way to go. If one has problems just remove it, clean and reinstall, or replace it. With an automatic you have more that can go wrong with it and if you need to replace/remove it, a lot more work.
