    Carpenter race engines

    Has any one out there had Carpenter racing redo the engine on a Rocket yet? Or do you know how long they take on the drive in drive out deal?

  2. Check engine light is on, o2 sensor deleted and unchecked

    I thought I was past this, however it appears I am not. Went for a ride today, bike seems more powerful. I am running 20050 dyno final map that Pig9r posted that has the 145 hp and 157 ftlbs torque. I have to o2 sensor checked off and and have covered my bases I believe. Is there anyway to...

    Carpenter Race Engines

    Carpenter Race Engines has extensively ported and polished an R3 head, to the point where their NA R3 makes 235 RWHP 186 Ft Lb TQ with high comp 11.5/1 pistons and high lift cams. They are the only ones doing very high lift cams for the R3 because they have developed new valve springs, titanium...

  4. Coolant leak from rear Engine Plug

    Has anyone had coolant leaking from rear engine plug on right side about half way up on the engine? The plug is a 14mm allen drive and behind the small filler cover. Trying to find out torque settings for the plug- if I can even get a allen drive in there- small area Thanks g-smitty

  5. Tuneboy, O2 Sensor, Check engine light.

    I bought Jardine pipes and loaded the tune from tuneboy for Jars and triple filters. I unchecked the box for the O2 sensor in Tuneboy and unplugged it and have a check engine light. Questions: 1. Do I need a O2 bypass/delete plug? 2. If the check engine light is on does that mean it is...

    Engine Health Check

    Running 15+ PSI boost puts stress on an engine. It's a good idea to regularly check for developing problems, rather than wait for catastrophic damage. A leak down test will find burned valves, broken rings, and of course holed pistons and blown head gaskets. Don't confuse the leak down test with...

  7. Custom engine guards....

    Anyone know a company other than Rivco or Triumph that makes engine guards for our bike? I was looking to get some like Lindby makes that have integrated highfootrests in them for the road. I also, figure it will help widen the bars enough to actually protect the foot boards and linkages if it tips.

  8. Engine Bolt Head Finisher Kit ?

    Here is an odd question for a Friday night - Anyone ever try the "engine bolt head finisher kit"? I have the R3T and the part number looks the same for all Rockets -

  9. Engine paint & Tranny completed (Finally)

    Now it's time to blow the dust out of the turbo. We'll see how the paint hold up.

  10. R3 Engine Powder Coating?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to powdercoat an r3 engine with all the innards still assembled (cases not split and disassembled). I'm told the engine would be at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes. It's very expensive to take the engine apart and gutted for coating. If the engine can't handle...

    Engine Pressure Tool

    I'm looking for a better tool to make timing changes to my IC SC R3 than just the dyno step tests. The small changes we've made so far have improved torque, but I need a better way to detect detonation as we approach the timing limits. To that end, I'm looking at TFX Engine Technology using...

  12. Engine data needed.

    Short of completely disassembling my new R3 (that will wait until the end of the year), I would like to know if the members here have some of the following data: Cam centerlines (as the cams are degreed stock) Rod length piston dish volume piston height - pin center to top of piston...

  14. Engine diagnostics OBD2

    Can anyone tell me if the standard OBD2 system can be used on the R3? Or is the Triumph tool required and if so, is it available...? Thanks, Gary in Ohio

  15. Engine noise

    Have a problem with mine now at 5700km. Knocking noise in engine clearly heard @ 2000-3500RPM. Dealer says there is play on gudging pin and have to rebuild complete motor. Pioston is touching head. Anybody same problem?:confused:

  16. I'm worried about engine failure

    I too have been researching every Rocket for sale in America for purchase. I test drove one a while back and was pretty much sold. I've read the 17 pages of posts about the timing chain failure, and I got "vuja de," a place I don't want to go all over again. About 30 years ago, I bought a new...

    Smooth engine operation...

    I bought a preowned 2005 Rocket in January 2007 with 6,000 miles. Since then I did everything possible to have the feeling that the engine runs smoothly. I actually got little fluctuating idle pattern, some "hesitating" engine operation with a constant low throttle opening while riding and small...

  19. Engine Number..........where is it

    :o HI - JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT. I BOUGHT A 2006 ROCKET RECENTLY AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS LOCATING THE ENGINE NUMBER. COULD YOU TELL ME WHERE IT IS LOCATED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK

  20. cold engine - hard start and wandering idle

    Hi all. Having a little issue. In very cold weather (like -10C), the beast is not easy to start. It won't fire on first round of crank (approx. 2 secs of turn). Second try and it pops and sputters, but doesn't usually hold. Third round does the trick. Then, for at least 60 seconds, it...
