"race" port reliability?
I just grenaded my top end finally, and it's time for a rebuild. My question is for you guys that are running Glenn's race port, how long do they last? I ride primarily open desert/dunes And need more top end but I don't want to sacrifice reliability (it was a long walk to the truck when this motor seized). Also what kind of fuel do you run? I can get 100 octane at the local 76 station, just wondering if they will run on that. I'm also considering the 250 ignition swap if I can find the parts.

Thanks for the reply. I've heard way more good than bad about Glenn (long time lurker), and that many hoons can't be wrong. I wanted to try the 540 cc "Liger" jug I read about on the main site but I can't get ahold of the bastards. I'll call gss when i get the motor tore down and figure out what the damages are.

CPI has a 583 jug, might want to take a peek at that too.tacogrande wrote:Thanks for the reply. I've heard way more good than bad about Glenn (long time lurker), and that many hoons can't be wrong.

Glen drills a shitload of holes in the race port pistons and im almost 100% positive they have saved my motor countless times from melting.
Ive boiled the bike many times and once cooked it to the point where it died and wouldnt restart untill cooled, without the holes in the piston I guarantee it would have been a moulten mess.
So Id say a ton more reliable than stock
BTW all thecooling issues have been fixed now

Well shit that's good to hear. When I get this thing put back together we'll have to go for a rip brit, coppercity and calico are within a tank from my place. What pipe do you run? I need a new one. Got it pulled apart and the wiseco cracked a skirt and vaporized it into aluminum dust and melted it to the jug. Doh.

Well, I shipped my entire motor off to Glenn for new crank bearings, bottom end seals, the new race port, and to bore my carb. It was a tough decision choosing the right shop, but after talking to Glenn I feel confident he will do a great job. There are just some things in life you can't learn from books, and the art of tuning a half liter two stroke is one of them. I got a 250 ignition off ebay in case it's not scary enough for me too.
