Ronnier, new rings need a load on them (such as a hard pull in top gear from 20 to 60 and back down again several times), or they will not seat! Just goosing it on a test stand won't do the trick.

Your quote above was addressed to Ronnier. Your reply would have been appropriate for a novice with NO understanding of fundamental engine technology. "Ronnier" (as evidenced in HIS video) has a little better understanding of fundamental flathead engine technology than most folks on the planet......I'd bet he understands a bit about ring loading and such.

My video proves I know a bit about seating rings! :rolleyes: As well as building some of the fastest and most powerfull flatheads burning gasoline. Oh and after two cross country drives with my roadster the rings are still good I must be doing something right. :D
 
Man! I got confused! I meant to reference Roadster 28's comment, not ronnieroadster's. (Also, I was agreeing with Ol' Ron). Sorry, guys!
 
Ronnie that baby is "Wicked "!
Ronnie also has a few KiWi-L100 cams ........
Thanks Ronnie !!!
Cheers

Oh boy looks like some of my experimetation has been uncovered. Tested a bit last month at the Ohio Mile got the roadster over 174 MPH still more work to do but its geting there. Tony the Kiwi L-100 cams have worked out great need a few more but have to finish the roadster project first.

Mike Heart and Ronnieroadster were the first to use the L-100 back 30 or better years ago. Mike sold one to George Perry back in the 80's and that's the first time I saw it. Didn't think it would work, boy waz I wrong.
