Will head scratch . cheers

hi all . Dyna s install cylinders 1 and 4 timing marks clear on plate Vertical line then T , Vertical line then F , 1.4 then vertical line. | T | F 1.4 | static timing onto vertical line next to F done however - marks for cylinders 2 and 3 - only marks on back plate are one vertical line followed by 2.3 with no other vertical lines | 2.3 Dyna s unit came with modules undone, and want to get cylinders 2/3 firing time correct. Any pointers?

Yep done all the usual checks , carbs bang on . and knock stays when clutch in . Leave engine until cool and knock disappears - most annoying !!

hi all. seemed to have picked up a knock when engine hot. no unusual noises when engine cold. any ideas ?? or experiences of same 1170 et

Anyone able to make some of these mounts up - for dollar ?

some great advice I recon . And v useful pictures . Big thanks

Hi all - been a long time . So without spending £300 - can anyone recommend an oil cooler to suit my 1170 et . I have a 1150 cooler kicking around but it looks a bit small for the job . I have the correct cover to suit oil re-routing from front of engine etc etc .

EFE D CAMS PRESUMABLY LIKE HENS TEETH. ANYONE HAVE THE SPEC OF THEM

anyone had experience with the two types available from kent cams - street type and race type.

time for some new camshafts into the 1170ET. Plenty to choose from - so some advice required please. am running rs mik 36's , standard newish valves, good condition rockers, foam filters, mid range stacks. Any experience advice out here please. Am not looking to make it go bang .

Cannot find any fault with the gasket - but will be changing . ( wiesco metal type - faces were machined flat about 3000miles ago , and still check out flat ) have now however noticed - worn rear cam guide - which would I think explain the noise at temperature . And the rings on the cylinder in question look to have slid round to be in line . I set them up at opposites on the original build . Going to use the opportunity to replace both cam guides and give the valves and Pistons etc a bit of a shine . fingers crossed the decoke and ring spin will perhaps deal with the comp . Anyone else had ring gaps line up to do this ?

Yep clearances were the first thing after compression check . Cheers

Cheers kikat . I shall give him a shout .

Yep already in that process . Valves good , barrels good , rings good , small ends good , big ends feel good . The hunt continues !!

Hi all . I see there are several suppliers / prices out there for rocker arms . I have tried on here to get some good used but no joy . So am thinking I may push out the boat on an engine I am building , and go new . Any recommendations please on suppliers / experiences . Cheers berty
