I got my test ride in and I'm not exactly thrilled with the 14g sliders, I'm gonna have to get me some 16-17g Dr. Pulleys ordered from PFS. Also after a decent size ride yesterday I got the Velocity pulled in the garage and when I put my hand on the cvt cover it wasn't even warm to the touch. This a mod I would recommend to everyone, it will not only seriously reduse the heat inside the cover but should help with belt and roller life IMO.

I tried a vac hose but it wouldn't fit over the inlet on the cover Rob.

Good point, probably not quite big enough OD on the vac hose huh?
So does that cover have outlet vents as well?

Yeah it does, 1 in the very back and 1 about the middle. I've been thinking about plugging the one in the middle so the fresh air travels all the way thru to the clutch as well, not sure about it yet.

After splitting the cases on the Tank motor to check the arrow placement on the oil pump, which was facing the right way BTW, I put this motor in the Velocity. I fired it up and it sounded like shit, I pulled the valve cover off and adjusted the valves again and it still sounds like shit. Also at about half throttle it sounds like its running out of gas, tomorrow I'll swap the original motor back in. I guess that $400 bbk, matching head, and A9 cam I bought were a waste of my money, live and learn, if its not a 2t it ain't worth trying to improve.

The only problem with that philosophy John is that that plan requires something I don't have, MONEY. I'll just put the old motor back in and use something I do have plenty of, brains and time.
