Any suggestions to the head clearance for this Gold Head 90 and 60% please? I would like to run the higher % so only buying one lot of fuel.

Looks like a new engine Norm ..

Is that a twin craft mono??

Cant really say correctly do you know the cc bowl volume?If you want use 60% then

Maybe start at 0.14" - 0.15"clearance at 11.75" pipe for the mono..Keep it rich.

hi norm,i had a purple head evo .90 and it's head cc is .89 and shimmed a .11. i ran it on 55%nitro 16% oil and it is a rocket!! do not let anyone tell you need MORE Clearance.it has to do with trapped CR,head CC and a bunch more! set it at .12 and be done with it. start out a little rich and check the plug!! nice caramel color and you are set..good luck.
 
Thanks fellas, I need to get a syringe today and check the head volumes, I have a few different heads so may find the right size. What do you guys measure head volume in CC or Cui?

Thanks!

It is a twincraft 46", also have a new 30" I am hoping to finish soon. I like the old school monos over the Seaducer style that everyone has. If a Twincraft B mono ever came up would be awesome to complete the collection.

i too like the old school mono's. i have a Sightler 44" with a .91 VAC & a Macs 13cc pipe.runs great and turns on a dime.i think there is still a picture on steve woods website..
 
The head that came with this engine is close to .7 in volume. What clearance is suggested please or should I get it opened up?

Thanks
 
I think I have that same colour orange, It looks great on your twin craft!! I like the old style too, habe a Muck and a Microburst plus AC Lazer 45 that is going to be powered with an OPS 90.
