Blueprinting a KT100 (or any other engine)

"How to".. index

Please note: This will be a long "work in progress".
Photos and specific details will be added to every procedure.


® What is blueprinting?

® Is blueprinting necessary?

® Advantages of blueprinting.

® Assumptions made before proceeding with items below.


Crankshaft assembly


Crankcase assembly


Cylinder


Test assemble for measuring


Piston/ring


Cylinder head


Final assembly


Carb


Some/many of these items could be done in different order.

More could be done that I have not mentioned (i.e. bore carb venturi to max, bore intake manifold to max, shorten intake tract length to minimum, etc. etc.). This is only a brief list of the items that quickly come to mind.

Many of the "settings" should/could be personal preference (or the preference of your engine builder): port heights, combustion chamber shape, cc's, carb hole sizes and carb settings, etc.
