Re: Raising compression using Jb Weld?
 

of couse dude all serious engine builders use jb weld to raise compression

Re: Raising compression using Jb Weld?
 

it would serve like a little detonation pillow ;D

Re: Raising compression using Jb Weld?
 

exactly. so OP go and jb weld your stuff and it will be fine!. please let us know how much faster your quad is because of it

[hit in the nuts] :X 240 deg... I was thinking more along the lines of sealing up a crack on the side of the block or something that's seeing coolant temperatures. Inside cylinder temps. are def. much higher.

If you want to try it, go for it. It's your engine not mine ;)

Re: Raising compression using Jb Weld?
 

And real men don't ever raise compression anyways... just add more boost.

i would like to confirm that statement! why tear apart a motor to jb weld the piston dome. ------- replace the piston!

Re: Raising compression using Jb Weld?
 

Well the motor is already apart so applying the jb weld would be no problem at all..... and the reason I asked is for some cheap power, if I remember the roots of HMT was to do everything as cheap as possible and I thought to myself perhaps this would be a cheap alternative since I cannot afford a high compression piston right away, plus machine shops are pretty far so I pretty much have to do everything low budget.....

There is the HMT style of doing things and then there is this.
