So... as previously promised, my attempt at having an input about the ACCT's. Hopefully the link will work without any problems and if you can't be bothered to read my not so glorious work, I'll make it brief for you - stopper mod... add a stopper mod to the original bung of the CCT (but you all kne...

I have done a few deals on Swapz site, and to be honest with you I will NEVER do any more deals on swapz site. This was my second swap on there. The first went as smooth as. Again, I knew and the other guy knew he was getting the better deal in financial terms, but in terms of being content, we wer...

unfortunately on swap sites one of the people swapping is always looking for something of more value than the item that they are swapping.So somebody will always finish up with the sh!tty end of the stick. It wasn't the overall value of things that I was worried about. I already knew that 'financia...

Anyway, very few of you may be aware that I no longer have my Storm as I was in need of a car and (foolishly) got ripped off by this guy from Notts/ Lincs. Long story short... ultimately nobody to blame but myself as on the night, I said to him that I always like to listen to my gut and my gut was t...

HA, of course they are... Something I should know having changed a few sets in the past

What I meant to say was IF they were set up that way.... yeah, IF...

Well that was a busy few days... Good to see plenty of posts providing food or thought... Some of the observations I have already witnessed, such as oil pouring from the rear CCT when loosening the bolt off at the back, and others I hadn't considered until just now like Sirch's observation where the...

Thanks for the input Bazza. Wouldn't happen to have any images of any of the failed CCT's you've looked at by any chance? This could ultimately become an extensive study but not enough time or enough resources (CCT's good and bad). I've seen various designs today on my image viewing adventures and q...

This is what I was rattling on about, Beamish was the dude - https://vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19004&p=154768#p154768 :thumbup: Interesting read, thanks Kev. I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel here but more 'suggest' plausible failure modes and methods of improvement which m...

Some pretty drawings I've done today....

This is a very interesting failure indeed. At a location that you wouldn't expect, i.e. 2 turns into the coil. Wicky's failed spring is far more logical and what you'd expect. I'm currently doing lots of pretty drawings (I hate the CAD part) so I should be able to run some simulations over the next ...

Thanks Sirch, all the images so far are fantastic. I'm doing a brief study on the CCT's for an MEng paper which is why I would like images of the broken bits. They will all go towards my analysis section and justifying any areas redesigned. If you wish to supply me your actual name (via pm), I can a...

Wow, that was fast. Thank you.

The more the merrier... thanks again

Hello, it's been a while. Long story short, needed a second car, swapped my beloved Storm, got ripped off and have (obviously) regretted it ever since. :crazy: But that's another story or another time! Anyway, everyone has always been willing to help out in this site so here I am again asking for so...

I like the 'Loud Cans Saves Lives' argument. I've also heard the 'cars are so well insulated these days that you can't hear bikes anyway....' which is almost true too. But here's how I got a £60 fine when I was chopsier and yougerer than I am now. So I used to run an ART 'Race Use Only' can on a ban...

I did have some great links bookmarked regarding research into this but can't seem to find them. Intake reversion or reversion in carbs is what you want to be looking up. I believe it is basically to do with the valve overlap period and scavenging.... Was going to banter on about something along th...
