I worked it out on a bmw head I had skimmed. The changes were miniscual and not worth worrying about. Head was only skimmed 4 thou though. If the head has like 20+ thou of it it may change things. I eventually had the slots on my bmw cam sprockets elongated to give +- 6 degree of change due to ...

I need two as well<br>
Thanks

Let us know as you have both!<br>

I am about to fit AVO fully adjustable if anyone has expereince of these

Had a similar problem with my sprint. Take off caused the gearbox/propshaft to wobble quite badly and at idle the engine would lurch about.<br>
<br>
I changed the gearbox mount and the problem has now gone away. The sprint has a different mount to the 1850. Mine seems to have been softened due to ...

Thanks to you all for the advice.<br>
<br>
How do I contact Papworth?<br>

Thanks for the advice. I really am considering having mine rebuilt as it only has 62k miles on it and I just don't know what I would get from a recon box. Any suggestions on who could rebuild my sprint box for me?<br>
I know it may cost more than the 175 quoted by Fitchetts but I want ...

My Sprint keeps jumping out of 3rd gear on overun.<br>
<br>
Also 2nd is more difficult to engage than any other gear and 3rd to 4th crunches if I take it fairly quickly. Looking to have an exchange gearbox unit from TD Fitchett (£175 inc VAT) which seems reasonable.<br>
<br>
Will this solve my ...

Look at <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.jigsawracingservices.co.uk/">www.jigsawracingservices.co.uk/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> They have AVO packages which give adjustable height seats. This is what you want so that you can adjust things for track/road. A full set will be going ...

So what cam should I go for?<br>
<br>
STR091? Are they available. I am after good driveability with a buzz to the top end. I have a big daft old M6 BMW which has hairy cams in it and not much happens below 4500 but things go crazy after this. Looking for somethings a bit more subtle in power ...

Anyone got a spare triumph tune manual?<br>

Hey great info. Thanks<br>
<br>
3 angle job would be done.<br>
Availability of pistons is a bit worrying. Whats the crack here?<br>
Rimmers is not 2 inch? I asked then to measure the OD of the sports exhaust and I got 50mm as the answer. Is this NOT correct. I am paranoid about my exhaust size ...

I will be embarking on a sprint engine rebuild this winter to bring the motor up to more modern standards and I am looking for any advice, pitfalls, must do's etc.<br>
<br>
Engine has original 62k miles with full service history but also comes with a report of bore wear on cylinder 3. Engine pull ...

Gee. That is low. Not 3 inch for me then. Maybe 1 inch.<br>
<br>
I swear my sprint sits much higher than your your last photo. Maybe it has incorrect springs on it now.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the input.

Can you expand a bit here. Why would it become unsuitable on the road - speed bumps, snappy handling etc?<br>
<br>
I look at my standard sprint set up and it looks like a drop of around a foot is in order. An exageration maybe but it just looks daft at the moment.<br>
Thanks<br>
ian ...

Good point<br>
<br>
What options are there for the antirollbars?<br>
