Default RE: Pinning the Piston Ring

I guess I found the answer here:

http://www.modelpowerboat.com/Hopping-up_a_RC_Engine

For intake, 140 degrees, for exhaust 160 degrees are the maximum numbers we are looking for.
That about does it for this motor.
I machined the squish out, took the case down so I have .022 deck clearance. I used a deep well impact socket and sandpaper.
Milled (filed and sanded) the back of crankcase. (stuffed it)
Pinned the piston and installed Bowman ring.
Removed exhaust bridge and modified timing of exhaust. Removed nub on intake.
New 11.11mm carb
Now all I need is for some snow to melt so I can get outside and test it!!

Next... homie 30cc? Poulan 32? Kioritz 16?

hmmmmm choices choices choices
