Vc 460

[raydhd]

Tomorrow the plan is to pull out my may of 2014 VC 460 of the G14 and put all the parts I have been amassing in it. Stay tuned. My first task will be how the NR racing shaft rockers line up. Along with that check out how the aussie speed valve cover works out with the stud holding it down in place of the bolt on the present valve cover. Then comes tearing the head down and putting in the comp cams valve springs.I may also look at fitment of the raceseng flywheel and coil bracket before opening the crankcase for the cam and billet rod replacement.

I can tell you from experience you need to get a set of cut to fit push rods. You may need to shim the rocker arm base. Do your homework on rocker arm geometry -- roller rockers are a little different. You'll need to install the new cam before you set up your rocker arm assembly.

My head is cut .075 so it will be interesting to see where I am at. But again as you say it may require different push rods.

The New 460 only has a 10 to compression ratio. Uses a stock head with a flat top piston instead of a shaved head and a dished piston. I still haven't set mine up yet. I want to use studs for the head bolt as this is a supercharged engine. I'm saving up for the kit that NR has, pretty pricey. I've been hunting for individual parts. I have found the head studs on Summit Racing. Now I have to hunt down the side studs and see if I can put a kit together any cheaper.

I have seen that some of the mini bikers and karters running on alcohol perhaps spiked with a little nitro were using studs instead of bolts along with a billet front cover.But in my case even 6500 rpms would be 50 + mph. Along with that both my carts are rpm limited and not HP limited.

Removed the S/G and exhaust system. I found the muffler to header joint had cracked the braze. This time I welded it. Here is a pic of my simple but quiet exhaust system. Also got all the wiring unhooked and oil drained.Carb linkage and fuel pump vacuum line also off.

I am working on it, but my parts don't have near the dust on them as yours... Had to find out about the puddle of trans fluid in my garage today always something. I need a few details yet like a case gasket and so on. Think it took me 15 min to get my engine out last time when I drilled new holes to move the engine over for the clutch. Should be faster now that I got rid of that contraption to run the throttle and choke rods, all I have now is the cable to the CV carb. Though I'll want to run the puller into the clutch with it in the cart so I can hold it with the gen belt. However this saturday was the first one I had off this year, sure was nice to grocery shop instead lol.

One other note, that balance shaft is a BIG HEAVY hunk of metal. And yeah Sho lots of dust.

Spent a couple of hours today installing the fumoto oil drain valve. I tried all kinds of things but could only get the position pictured to work.

To the cylinder head. Used my HD valve spring compressor to change out the silver asian units to the comp cams gold units. I had zero troubles in my 170 hours plus with the originals.Glad I had the tool.Also glad I didn't try this change with the engine in the cart.
