thought I'd post this,this is the dip stick mod out of my 400, gonna copy it and install in my 360


Nuke,You have this in any of your big bores?

I have the balancers in mine

Wish I had the knowledge to build a motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) like this. Where do u guys even find these hopped up engines

Could you remove the exhaust bridge from the 350 jug, just cut it out and blend it in? why does it have to be there?

Bridge is their to support the ring without it the ring would fall into the exhaust port and be ripped off, they invented the bridge to allow for a wider exhaust port or to gain more exhaust port area, you have a limited time to exhaust the products of combustion so as power goes up (bigger bang) you need more area.

Their are 3 basic exhaust port designs on a 2 stroke, bridged like you see here then just a single exhaust port like on the Pilot and then the 3 exhaust ports which is basically a large single port like on the Pilot with two smaller exhaust ports one on each side of the big exhaust port.

I will use the cylinders off my 440 sled engines for example the first pic is the single exhaust port like the Pilot has



The next picture is the exhaust port design red arrows pointing to the two smaller ports, some day when I get setup to weld aluminum I am going to add ports like this to my Pilot.

you have a aluminum welder now
