Any idea if the Zenoah head is compatible with the Rovan lower end ?

Sweet , I got an answer about compatibility on the FB group so its a YES ( I emailed DDM also to make sure)

Best part is I spoke to Doug and he said to run it normally right from the start..no break in time needed..also doug said hp is at about 6 3/4hp with his head on the g320

So DOUG is the ESP guy ?? if so nice power # !

Not sure which doug your referring to lol. But yes "A" doug owns esp..i had probably had an hour conversation with him within the 3 phone calls I made to him and he is a great guy. Knows his stuff and is on his game...and yea it is a nice power number I can see the night and day difference with his ported head and I was extremely pleased with buying it

Good one , there is NO bearing in the kit !

 

[Rep732]

yea i said the same thing...from what i understand he takes zenoah top end kits and ports them. So its zenoah that does not include the bearing not him

no problem its a $6 bearing , always good to have spares

I used to run a (30.5) esp top on kit I my dbxl. Night and day difference. Next time they're on sale I'll probably grab another for my zen 32 in dbxl see what it'll do

well I checked the SQUISH on my stock ROvaN 32cc top end it was 0.052" ( esp recommends 12-20 thousands ) , I talked to Doug over at ESP and he thinks I should check it with no gasket ! , I will have my parts tomorrow ??? and check in here once I have numbers for future ref.

 

[Rep732]

So if you use no gasket do you need to use a sealer?

Ya , talked to Doug at ESP and he said do it , trying to get a 0.015-0.020" squish or close

 

[Rep732]

Hm..i've been meaning to buy one of them squish dial indicators

I just bought an adapter for my calipers that makes them act like a dial indicator , not as accurate but I can get very close , I take 3-4 readings and avg them.

Ah how much was it? And honestly I'd rather have the right tool no offense
