During the first dyno test of my first .80 motor the center post of the glow plug began to glow cherry red. Only after speaking to Bill Wisniewski, & re-cutting the angle on the main transfer windows closest to the exhaust window from 33 deg 30 min to 43 deg 30 min was this problem eliminated. Final dyno test of this engine showed 6.2 to 6.8 HP at 24,000 to 26,000 rpm on 65% fuel. I used this engine, with the re-cut liner and new piston, to set my first NAMBA straight away record at the NAMBA Nationals in Washington, DC in 1990.
