I just built a motor for my wc 4 1/8 flat tops with a 45 crank, manifold and carb at about 10:1 compression at 1800rpm. My question is its got 14.9/24 on it which probably way to small and only other tires I have are 12.4/38 of my f20 to you guys think it will turn them. Also wondering about murphys roller rockers how much will they help on my motor if any. Thanks, Zeb

i would think so. Guess it would depend on the track and the amount of grip your tires have.

I guess I should of told you what they are. Theyare Firestone field and road about half tread nice and sharp and hard so they should hook decent I'm hopping it'll turn them.

where are you going to pull at/ at the rpm you have the roller rocker won't help you I would spend your money on things that give more HP

3500 to 4000, some are first gear only but most are 4 mph.

I think you'll be just fine with your 38s. If you run across some guys with a wide front WD 45 stop buy and visit. We usually get to both Shumway pulls and Altamont ,Clarksburg and a couple of Casey also.

Seems like I always have something I gotta work on during the Clarksburg pull.Shame since I'm only a mile south of there. Priorities?

IF YOU NEED MORE RPMS IN LOW GEAR TO GET THE HP, A [RC] RING & PINION IS GEARED LOWER , SOME GUYS USE THEM SO THEY CAN RUN 2nd IN THE LIGHT FAST CLASS. PS WITH 10:1 RATIO YOU WILL IN A LOT OF OCTANE. GOOD LUCKY THIS SUMMER

I put the pistons in the motor I'm building tonight. At tdc there is a 3/8 gap will this be to close to the head. If the piston is all the way up all the valves should be closed right I guess I just want to make sure that when one is up four doesn't hit any valves. At this gap I came up with about 11:1 does this sound about right?

I came up with 11.18:1 for the compression. What about the valves it won't hit them will it.

That gap is fine. You wont have any clearance problems there.

Late last night when I measured it i messed up I measured it today and it was 5/16 which came out to be like 12.86:1 on compression. Is this still ok on the gap. Thanks again, Zeb

Im not sure when you get down to that small, That just makes me think that is a really small chamber to have a good fuel/air mixtures and good ignition. Thats just me though. I ran a simular set up and i may not have had is set up well.. but i was not very happy with the outcome. I ended up rebuilding the motor again with a simple set up and i love how it pulls now.

Sorry for the long story, Im sure someone else will tell you better but i just havent had good luck with really high compression setups.

Good luck on the motor build. Would like to see the out come....Mine was running 248psi comp.
