Wow, you just bought it and you already have some history with it, lol. I rebuilt my top end after a good burndown this year, too. I was nervous as hell when I got it back out on the lake after she was broke in, but I took the necessary steps to make sure it didnt happen again. Sounds like you did the same, im sure itll be fine.
When you said in your first post that it had 35 min run time. How much of that was driving time and how much was idling time? The drive time is what really seats the rings. If you only have 10 min or so drive time then you prob could expect to gain quite a bit more comp after the 1/2 hr - 1 hr runtime. In my first reply I was thinkning you were talking about 35 min of driving time.
Good point. I really only have about 15 minutes drive time on the sled as of now, and currently 100 psi per cylinder, at least I have consistant pressure going for me. I should have never even checked it, It sounds mean, and runs great, just have to get her back out to the lake tomarrow after work, maybe I will try a different lake for better luck, lol. How many miles were on your sled when she burned down?
Lol, I did the same thing when mine blew. I checked it before I ran in, after 10 min idling, after half a tank, after a full tank. The readings got progressively better, now Im up to 130 pto and 125 mag. My sled has 9200+ mi on chassis, 4000+ mi on bottom end, 1200+ on last top end rebuild (new pto jug and piston due to cracked port). Im pretty sure Ethanol, wide open throttle, and borderline lean conditions were to blame since I was jetted for non ethanol fuel and I didnt even think about the different fuel at the time. We were drag racing and I just blew the doors off a 900 fusion,........then I blew a piston less than a mile later[

] which also took out the jug. I jetted up the mains and needles just in case and bought new carb boots.
But I got her all back together with a few hundred miles on her. Lined up against my brothers 03 F7. He got me once and I got him once, very close race. He has studs, offset keyway, Bikeman y-pipe, and can. Not to bad for a 12 year old sled to hold its own to an F7, eh?[

Just checked you gallery, very nice kitty you got there. Very clean looking, def worth holding onto as long as she treats you good from here on out. Dont see many of those anymore that are still that nice.[thumb]
Anyway, just stay away from wide open throttle for 100 miles or so, and dont hold a constant speed. Give it some here and there with some quick little throttle pulls but thats about it.
Im sure shell be fine now. Good luck[thumb]
