Not sure how much benefit you get as I would think some serious port work would be needed.They sound awesome when on full song do a search at youtube for
"Marine Trevor Simpson reed motor"

Hi,
I also grew up in those reedy days. Also if you did not know Carmen Bloise from Need for speed has those two section cones on his tuned pipes pipes. As he says 70's technology with a modern twist. It really is history repeating itself.
My 2 cents worth.

Am finding between early and late production RCMK cranks the ROD on pin bearing end has been narrowed allowing the Zenoah washers to install without mods.

Early rods have a small end width of @ .315" and need stock washers or thinned Zens.
Newer rods are now at .300" allowing Zen washers to be used.

FYI,

Any of your guys going to the Gas Nats in Louisiana in November? I would like to see one of these perform first hand. Thanks.
