The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

I came across this ebay ad a couple of weeks ago and had a punt http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-DOLOM ... true&rt=nc
when they arrived I was surprised to find the Su's where genuine ST hs8's with the correct tags Fzx1050 and no discernible wear in the spindles , the cam looks to be a fast road or rally cam ( I can only find a extra tag on the cam which I cannot read ), I'm not sure if the cylinder head has been worked on ( will check later ) , the manifold has one of the thermostat bolts tapped out to a bigger size which is not to much of a problem, looking at the cam it has a chunk out of it at the cam sprocket end but the two securing bolts can still be used but I'm not sure if it can be used with such a big chunk out of it, check the pics out below

You may find it has balancing problems with that much missing, but of greater concern would be if the lobes will polish out or not?

Irrespective, a bargain for the carbs alone though in my opinion.

Thank's Alun, the surface of one of the lobes was ok with just a finger nail dragged over it but it will need a proper polish of the lobes, as you say with such a big chunk I'm not sure it can be used, not sure if I'm gonna use the carbs on my own car I might just refurb them and put them back on Ebay

I would take the carbs off you if you fancied parting with them?

PM me if interested

I would think that cam could be welded, this part is not heat treated, but the damged area should be smoothed out prior to welding, then machined.
