Hi Paul, any idea on the price per meter.?

<p></p><i></i>

Just scored a good set of konis from the wreckers, They seemed to be set up very soft on the donner car. Can anyone give me some idea on the number of turns of adjustment (for the front and back shocks) I need to get good road handling? I will be using stand springs. Thanks, dmite

Put it in my kl 650 kawasaki at about 4000km Have ridden that bike half way around Oz A lot of dusty dirt roads included Its now has 65000 km on it and would possibly do it again, have only ever needed to replace one tappet shim because it was getting a bit too tight.The motor is still strong I ride ...

Thats a good point speedracer, The valve spends less time on the seat therefore less time to cool down, but why is it ok to set the warm cams at 010"?

Can they be set tighter?

how tight can you have your valve clearances?, 018" looks very lose.

George, the valve cutouts are different, the pin sizes are the same, just the sprint pins have a taper at each end of the bore to lighten them a bit. Was woundering what it would do to the balance if I use the lighter pins, now that the rotating has been balanced to he heaver pins

Thanks speedracer I measured the combustion chamber with a burette, same for piston dish and cutouts.Then use a compression calculator like this one,<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.torinocobra.com/Randys_tools.htm,">www.torinocobra.com/Randys_tools.htm,</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END ...

Thanks Jonners, The pistons I am using have a dish around 5.5cc +.6 for the extra valve cutouts, the combustion chambers messure around 42cc, the head has been mill down a bit. the pistons are 040' over. Gives a comp ratio of around 10.2 :1. With 050" head gasket.

got a set off 040 oversize TR7 pistons to put in the sprint. I have had the motor rebalanced to suit. It wasn`t out very much at all. I have since come across a set of sprint piston pins, which are of lighter weight,which I would like to use. What will this do to the balance of the motor? Good or ...
