[SEL] Maytag Torque Monster

[JR504 at aol.com]

Hi Ron, 
The MCL is the ligament that runs down inner side of the knee.  The  stick 
went through it and split it lengthwise.  It is still attached at  both ends, 
just has a hole in the middle of it.  Thanks for the well  wishes.
 
Maytags don't spin very fast, at least in comparison the modern 2 strokes,  
so I don't think KIPS or RAVE valves would help them much.  The KIPS valves  on 
my Kawi don't start to open until 6,000 RPMS and the engine tops out near  
10,000 RPMs.  My Ski-Doo with the RAVE valves top out at around 9,500  RPMs.  If 
you are seriously trying to wake a Maytag up a little I  would bet filling in 
the base and a mild port/polish job would be the  smartest/easiest path.  You 
also might be able to make an insert for the  area above the piston that 
changes the squish area, but that's a lot more work  when there's no separate head.

What is  your MCL?  

Do you recommend the Ski-Doo RAVE over the KIPS for  the Maytag?  Most of the 
Maytag torque occurs when it is either  turning very slowly or stopped and is 
most noticeable as a resistance to  movement.  Can the Ski-Doo RAVE enhance 
Maytag performance?  I  was going to ask Evil Dave about the feasibility of 
filling 
the dead  sections of the crankcase with Bondo to increase intake compression 
but I  am afraid he'll only suggest I fill the whole thing and let it set up  
before trimming it.
