Hi Jason,<br />Oil leak ended up being straightforward to fix. Luckily my dead X440 engine didn't need the oil tube plate gasket anymore... Anyhow it's fast and fun on my backyard track.<br /><br />Thanks for a great quad - it will get lots of use while I rebuild the X440 (and after too).<br...

Thanks

Does anyone have pictures of the insides of a muffler that is quiet and doesn't kill the motor? I have a stock X440s FMF and put on the newer modular end cap, new packing and the "quiet core" (it's just a cheesy piece of smaller diameter tubing!). It's still too loud for th...

Does anyone have flow bench numbers and port volumes for stock and ported heads? It would be interesting to compare to other high performance heads out there. <br /><br />I have a set of v8 race heads ready for flow bench testing right now and I was thinking about taking a stock Dale head down to ge...

I think it is great that real development of higher power levels is continuing with Dale motors. It sounds like the point of diminishing returns has not yet been met with the larger ports. <br /><br />A couple more thoughts:<br />There are quite a few examples of higher end car motors that take adva...

My .02:<br /><br />Velocity isn't a myth and there is no free lunch. There is a lot more capability at low speeds with EFI than a carb but it doesn't change physics. If you have large ports with short runners that fill well at high rpm you give up some low end and mid range. Higher velocity ...

Thanks - now I understand. That's worse than I thought.

I'm new to these motors, but I understand the problems that the rod bearing can cause (my X440 has bits of metal in the oil - bad stuff). Anyway, my question: is there any influence of the hardness and/or heat treat of the crank pin? Is it the bearing elements that are failing or is it the crank...

I'm looking for a Dale quad in Northern or central CA. I live in Los Gatos and wanted to get a quad that doesn't need any work. I have a X440s with a bad motor and I have a Honda Odyessy with a dead motor too. Looking for something reliable with all updates that works as is and either has a ...

Did you ever sell your quad?

Thanks
