There is a intersection in Desperate Hot Springs with the normal red light cams and also a round bottom cam. I swear it is being controlled. I came up to it a 45, it went green,yellow,red. Just that quick. I dropped into first, grabbed a hand full and checked my mirror, the light was red. I didn't get a ticket in the mail so I must have made it. :dry:

The 'unsed' part at TDC is where your compression pressure is highest, the bit at the top of the bore that isn't run in - possible problems going to the other crank now with the same rings?

That brings the camshafts closer to the crankshaft sprocket.Tyrell Corp wrote: Would it be feasible to skim 2.5mm off your block (without pressing the liners out to avoid distortion) and slot the cam gears to get your valves back on time? Maybe even tune for rpm power with some more valve overlap even to take advantage of the undersquare revvy motor?.

The number of links between the two cams and the crank sprocket would be the same but my poor pea brain can see this messing up the exhaust cam timing a bit... retarding geometry?
Maybe someone else can anwser that.

Tyrell, I won't be long until I get a 903 crank. I can get new rings at Z1E for $12 a set. I have one extra set anyway. I'm serious about selling the 750 crank. I appreciate you're advice and maybe it would work for someone else. I'd love to go with a 1200 kit but would be happy with a 1105. :whistle:
Bruce, I'm experiencing the same symptoms as you. It seem if I stay at a certain RPM on the FWY, I lose the roll on power. Maybe I'm babying it too much. I know it will lean out and I have 300 miles on it now. As soon as I get to 500, I'm going to bang it through the gears and explore the red line. :woohoo:

Had a buddy snap his chain when we were kids on his new 160 Honda and it rapped up and cracked the bottom case..... we were 15 and it brought a tear to his eyes (can't blame him) ...... his dad helped him out and the bike shop replaced it for 160 bucks a dollar a cc. (1965 prices)

Steve, I always use endless chains now, a pain if you have a braced swinging arm but seeems essential on a 100 horsepower plus bike.
My GPz run out of fuel a couple of months ago, hitched a lift on my mates bike for a fuel can and his lady kept an eye on it, it was noticed a couple of dodgy sorts in a car were clocking the bike, and not in a good way GRRR

I have a tire buddy in my side box.
A few well placed shots will make for some flake's F'd up day. :evil:
Can we say broken wrists and a nasty gash over the eyes? :whistle:
