You're a very brave man I feel, a true 'pioneer'...<br /><br />For what it's going to cost, why not run the head up on a 'spintron', so you can see if you're getting any float before you fit it in your motor? Float on a valve on it's own isn't going to cause any p...

Having got bored of not being able to find neutral, unless I really don't want to find it, my not-so-stupid girlie friend suggested I move it to below first so it's out the way....<br /><br />She's a biker herself and rode motorcross since being a kid (she has an MV Agusta 750 these days...

Running a different mix in each port is called 'Stratified charge'. It's normally only used on 'bias-ported' engines to concentrate a richer mix around the plug to help it fire, then the mix gets ever leaner as the flame front travles out from the plug. It's an emissions thin...

I'll try to dig up some old development graphs and stuff, if I can find it, it might make things easier to understand.<br /><br />What I 'think' as I 'write' and what you 'read' from my 'writings' could very well be different. Minor terminology differences can cau...

The smooth, shiny, casting you see is a 'die-casting'. It costs a heap of money to make a 'die' to make the part so, instead, a 'pattern' is made (a slightly oversize blank version of the component needed) and, from this, a sand 'mould' is made. Into this mould is pou...

A cam with higher off the seat valve acceleration and more of a radius to the flanks could have the same lift and off the seat duration but have much more area under the lift envelope than one with lower initial acceleration and flatter lobe flanks.<br /><br />This is why you often see durations lis...

Dunno on the 'dale but I'd be tempted to run exhaust at 102-104 and the inlet at 110-112. I tend to find you'll lose through the middle and gain at the top, if top's what you're looking for anyways...

Multiple drillings as normal for vernier adjustment, absolutely chaps.

I could do to chat sometime about the ATK thing, sound out some ideas, see what you guys think.

I agree, not for ths post.... Not for public view either I don't think...

Mine looks worse to than my wife did!<br /><br />Mind you, she did cost less money..... <img src="http://www.cannondaleriders.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /><br /><br />A little tech-spec of the new cams...
