i had a similar engine. 88 big bore kit installed 10:5 to 1 flat top pistons s/e 204 cams s/e heads adj pushrods s/e exhaust power commander ignition. i had to run 93 octane alll the time plus on real hot trips r days i pre ignition detonation r watt ever ya wanna call it. was it strong ohubetchca but like i said no 93 octane no nuttin except clatter. for watt its worth just my input.

10.5-1 is too much compression for the 204`s,not surprised you have detionation & over heating

switch the 204`s for S&S .585`s

kirby. i do believe u know your stuff! wish i would have found u before. as i said that was mah ole 02. n yes the bastards @ the h-d shop was all about the build. i never was certain bout the recommendations 1 say sezs this the other sezsthat. any who thanks for the input. i am hope to beg borrow steal or short of robbery get some money to send mah heads your way. thank you greatly for your know how n knowledge. mike

Glad I had somebody to take the time and explain to me what to do before I do a build.
And that is talk with a headman and builder before I took bought cams and parts I thought was great and have heads done and start putting a motor together.
We are fortunate to have folks like Prodrag and baggerpaul here to help give us much needed advise.
A headman has the knowledge to sit down and ask what you are lookin for out of yer build. And what you expect yer bike to do. And how much reliability you want in it.
And a head man can help you more than the HD man or anybody.
They know the geometry of the build and what will work together and what will not, or what will hurt the build
These people are very valuable to us.

unfortunatly theres alot of "baffle them with bullsh!t" guys out there,who still go by the "bigger is better"on cams or other aspects of a build(mostly guys who work for dealers)ALWAYS get more than 3 opinions on any build

And always talk to a Headman & Builder.

Hi!
Don't mind me, just posting 5 times so I can start my own topic.
Carry on!

LOl 3 down ...2 to go... welcome...I didn't know you needed 5 posts before you could start a thread....

Ha I didn't either. I joined the site because I had a question about my bike, but it wouldn't let me ask it.. Oh well I'm on my 7th now

Thanks for the welcome.

Today I stopped by the indies shop and he told me that he had some goodies for me. I got my new wires, head gaskets and clutch ring in. I didn't get them to pick them up as I caught him just as he was getting ready to leave for the day as he had some other things to take care of. Just waiting on the new fuel valve.
Soon, soon this bike will be back together.
