My stuff is all single and I've had no issues. I've had both outlet pieces removed, the head tapped for 1/2" pipe thread, run one outlet and a threaded plug in the other.

Borrowing tools when you can buy the required tools for under $150 seems a bit foolish, IMO. Sure, it's much cheaper to borrow, but I'd rather have them in the tool box and ready to go than having to monkey with chasing them down.

No bikes for me, except for an old huffy.

My CR500 is on a kart, hence the name.

You might as well claim Sioux Falls as your hometown. I know alot of people up in that area. I'm southeast of Des Moines in Knoxville.

pull up/dwn with both hands.
It's well documented that you pull rods with both hands, but you don't need to hijack someone's tech thread to talk about it.

It was definately lean, which leads to why I post the pic... Or, too low octane, or too much advance... Lean, fo' sho. It was the end of the race season, motor had 2 nites from fresh, used fresh C12 (used C12 all year), timing wasn't changed, but the temp was about 25* cooler than the previous race...

That looks like detonation burning a hole in your piston, your pre-mix oil isnt going to effect the damage from this... It was definately lean, which leads to why I post the pic... lack of new oil, high temps and still lubricating. When I tore it down, the piston and sleeve were still coated in oil.

So what are you comparing Blendsall to? I've got nothing to compare Blendzall to. But if this happened in your motor, would you change to a different oil? I know I wouldn't, and won't until something forces me to. I work in motorsports. Part of the job entails going to tradeshows. I've shown that s...

This happened somewhere between 9-9,500rpm. Thank you, Blendzall for not letting the piston stick. Not bad for a Wiseco either.

For a splitter, I went to Harbor Freight and bought this: http://www.harborfreight.com/46-piece-bolt-puller-set-37824.html and attached it to the bolts that the stator bolts to. Take a stator bolt to Fastenal and get that thread size & pitch, but you'll need something longer, obviously. Use 1/4 ...
