FRIKKEN CAMS.....

[DAK47]

Put a bore scope down the spark plug holes to see I've got poptop pistons, a little carbon and a nice crosshatch left on the cyl. walls, except for a little vertical scratching on the thrust side of the back cyl. So my thoughts on cam choices are out the window, 204's are over 200ccp range as are most of the tourqe cam selections I tried. I thought I could avoid yanking the heads this year and save enough to do the whole 103" thing next winter...
Any thoughts on a cam for a 2up touring rig that see's a lot of mountain roads with no comp. releases and 10.25 pistons???? I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and yank the top end Goes to show, don't know what ur getting into buying a dead guy's bike.

Cheers,
Dirk

Hey, can I borrow that bore scope??


Oh, and I'd go with Andrews 26G's. Others may have better or different choices.


And I just happen to have a set of 26's sitting on my bench. You'll need gears though.

I got Andrews 26As in my otherwise stock 88. Don't know how they'd work with the pop up pistons/compression ratio you got tho.

If you can make it to Kelowna, you bet!! Some of the best money my shop has spent on tools...

Andrews 26a with a .045 HG and 10.25's yeilds a corr. comp of 9.62:1 and a ccp of 195# @ 1200' <sigh>

Ain't this happy Andrews 37 cam type range then?

What's Sir Halon runnin' in his gasless rear tyre bike?

[Bone Stockman]

Uncle Halon's got 37s in his 95". I can't remember what c/r he's running though. The 37s make nice power.

[MegaGlide]

Unless the conventional wisdom has changed, 37s were happy up to about 9.8:1, then the pinging usually starts.
26s, stock to 9.4, IIRC.
YMMV, caveat emptor, whatever.

T-Man 555 or 590?

I've heard of T-Man before but never paid much heed, but after looking -pretty intresting looking cams - I'm going to e-mail them on the 555.
Yanking the top end, gas tank is loose - just don't feel like dealing with gasoline this close to supper. SE heads going in Tuesday as soon as the stealer opens for CR's, the only way out I can see.....

Dirk...let us know what they say about the 555 cam.
I'm kinda interested in it too.

[Backroad Mike]

Dirk;

Check your PM box.

I forgot, I'm not using any key's.

[Bone Stockman]

I'm running the 625 in the 'Train's 103. It makes silly power.

[jasilva]

Woods TW-6, handles a little more comp than the Andrews 37s.

[Infidel!]

You may want to take a look at Cycle-Rama's 575 cam.
