[Spridgets] engine questions...

[brian S]

hey Ryan,

My 1098 Bugeye (that you rode in) is turning about 4300 at 60 with a 4.22 and
185/60's
according to a GPS. My Speedo reads 5-10 mph high.
Thinking about installing a 3.9.
I'm smokin too, though I think mine is rings, as it's comin out the breathers
and exhaust. Haven't checked compression, but pulls hard.
maybe giudes, can't remember if there are valve seals installed, I'll have to
check.
Leaks alot too. ;-)

Bugeyeracer finally resto'ed!

> i am driving a stock 1275 '74. on the highway i am concerned to push past 4k
rpm's for any length of time. I also have a minor oil burn that i attribute to
valve guides and recessed core plugs in the head. At some point i will
"refresh" the engine not that i know what the hell that actually means but it
sounds good. what if anything can be done to improve highway speeds without
going to a 3+k 5 speed. i think I am doing about 70 at 4k rpm's i just want to
do 80mph for highway driving especially considering MG2009 in toronto and the
midget 50th in wisconsin.
