Re: Bigger Bore Etc

Also, the link above is not for my cams, I'm not sure why but that is not a correct link. And remember, my front cylinder was unharmed as are my two new cylinders with the same cams. And then of course there's this video where sounds like the best bike ever created: https://youtu.be/7pHk05MqB80 Valv...

Re: Bigger Bore Etc

Certainly, there is always more to be done to any cam and we are bound quite tightly by the size of the core we have and the money in our wallet. Web offers an exceptional cam shaft at twice the price and I'm sure it'll work even better. However, I was pretty dang tired of chasing Yosh, Mori and Ken...

Re: Bigger Bore Etc

I almost forgot: Regarding piston to valve clearance: I checked my motor using the clay method to determine PTV and Radial clearance. The V had miles of room and a gigantic quench area. So much so that it is not of any concern whatsoever with a stock piston and valves. I wager that you could run any...

Re: Bigger Bore Etc

RE: Carb Settings: I'm sure the different trumpets are due to the air flow for the front cylinder being different from the rear. Essentially the air for the front cylinder needs to make a sharp bend and almost reverse direction to enter the throat of the front carb. For the rear it continues on merr...

Re: 11.5:1 pistons....

I must have missed it but does anyone know the porsche motor that shares pistons with the V? Was it the older 3.2 motor?

Thanks

Re: Engine rebuild - cylinder re-sleeve

OK, sounds good, I guess if Roger says so then it must be at least accurate. Do you know of any other members running 1mm OS with stock sleeves?

Thanks again

Re: Hello from the other side

Thanks,

I think I'll start a new thread as it goes on for a while-- I also have a few questions that hopefully someone here has an answer to.

Re: Engine rebuild - cylinder re-sleeve

Just to clarify,

Were you able to determine if the 1mm OS pistons would work on the stock sleeves? I know Honda only offers .25 or .50mm, but I have always wondered if on my next build I could go 1mm.

Thanks for any input

Hello from the other side

Yank here, I hail from Massachusetts. I'm a long time V owner and I post fairly regularly on Superhawkforum. My V is a bit of a b8stard but a good one at that. I bought a used, abandoned 2005 Superhawk that I found on good ole craigslist one fine morning. After a bit of negotiating my wife would not...
