Ill get yoir head sorted tom. The 225 was for larger inlet seats for the big valves which machine shop did as disnt feel std seats were qide enough. And was a cost I didnt initially know about.

Ill speak to graham this morn.

I put hands up with the first xe and said will cover costs.

The rods tom was referring too wernt those rods. They were pankl rods that came from an engine so to...

Dont mean too be a dick but that heads not been touched at all matey.

I didn't want too comment the other day.....I reckon ive just thrown maybe 6 sets in the scrap and no doubt be many more. no one wants them. xes have too many miles on them and for the cost of...

Ive got std used pistons? How many you after?

You cant mix guides up. A few thou bigger wjere guides go and they fall through so 2mm and could throw them through. + if an early coscast head you cant fit +1mm valves on the std inlet seat. Ive got...

They will be ok. Only thing with them and could be reason....you need a different stem seal or have too grind edge of the gm one too miss the inner spring or the inner spring will pull it off

What springs and caps are you using and spec of cam? As likes of piper, kent etc have a modded retainer so you run 34mm fitted length instead of 32mm if on a std cap.

No the porting/valbes shouldnt make any difference. What valve springs you using? Also worth just checking for excessive play in the guides with the valves.

Stem seals popped off? Bronze guides are usually a very tight fit and req alot more work too ream out compared too std type. Its not very often it happens but oil can leak between the head and...

No probs matey.

Noone needs too start arguing. I spoke to graham. Spoke to tom and sorted.

I didnt see text til i got up for half 5 fir work. Ill check now and reply.

Had toms over 12months. He wasnt in a rush and I plodded on with it as/when I had rods, postons, spring kits, followers sat for months while i was waiting.And as said he contracts and was waiting...

Its having set backs that knackers timescales up. Ive had toms (24) engine for a long time. Not going to deny that. But if im waiting for parts I cant speed people up. Tom contracts and paid as/when...

Only later headbolts have washers included. Early bolts dont. Pain really. Vaux have stop everythibg to do with early belt set up except the little L bracket for the belt cover and thatd got to come...

Double post. Sorry

Got text matey.

As title. 6bolt fly. Must be useable either std or ground. I dont mind. Ideally close to n.wales

Cheers

Ill have too try and find rr printouts of a jenveyd xe I had with the 1612s and std cams. About 4bhp gain at wheels a few hundred rpm higher. But the loss of mid range/torque between them for the bhp...

Wouldnt bother with any fast road cam tbh. Gain a few bhp peak 4/500rpm higher but if you spend more time in mid range. Then std cams are fine. Got some rr results somewhere of an xe on jenveys with...

Get pistons pocketed or replacement pistons and run something like 270newman. Can be used on std springs, retainers. Or fit forged pistons, spring kit and a more aggressive hyd profile.

Basic fast...

Will ask about for you.

Bike carbs....cheaper than webers. Easier too setup and floating chokes. Gives better all round power conpared too webers aswel. Just dont look as retro.
