Correct Jimmock that’s the chaps

So lots of digging through partzilla diagrams looks like they did modify the camshaft in around 83 to run on a roller bearing, the head remains the same but the cam has a roller bearing on the end. The head I have had gone totally oval where the cam runs straight in it. Quiet likely oil starvation i...

Not much of the cam lobe left!

Jimmock yeah that is an option, apparently quiet a common mod but I was thinking a later heads with rollers in it may be easier and cheaper?

Gents, on my KLT200 rebuild I’m doing I have come across the camshaft being completely fooked and the head is somewhat oval where the cam runs in it. So it’s for the skip. As I recall the later models of this engine which is basically a z200 had roller bearings in them instead of running direct in t...

Finally after many issues managed to get a back axle fully functional, this is a strange Kwak all the diff parts are imperial assuming it was commissioned to someone as a sub contractor in the US, so sourcing things has been a bit of a nightmare! Never mind it’s moving forward slowly!

From the other side. Seems to be D73B

I had a scan through that list too and couldn’t match anything. The only other number is on the front of the crank cases but very hard to see with the engine being so close to the down tube.

Hey Chris long time! Hope all is well! It’s a 4 speed box in it. Has brakes too which is unusual but seems more common on early ones? It’s super cool. I’m just not sure now if I sell it or put it on a shelf in the garage and look at it! Won’t be trying to get it sideways nowadays for sure! Lol

Picked up this old grasstrack bike the other week and it’s quiet an interesting piece. Apparently built in 1960 by Don Smith but not sure if this is fact or fiction. I know nothing about these things but seems to be a Bantam based frame which seems to have been fairly common? It’s fitted with a 2 st...

Been a long time on this one! I got everything powder coated and been sourcing a lot of parts, but hard to find in the UK so I started buying and sending to a friend in Houston with the intention of someone from work taking a spare case on next trip! However for obvious reasons that never happened! ...

Looking sweet Bill!

Lovely sounding bikes them triumphs. I worked at a local dealer when the first Daytonas came out and road test always involved the through the tunnel route

Thanks as always excellent advice. So it was going off the scale when cold but on my essentials blast to the butchers shop today it was reading up to about ten, so gauge will work fine.

Cheers

Gents How much oil pressure would you expect to see in a J motor? I fitted a gauge this last week and reading some of the posts I was expecting to see something like 3 psi, but at idle were way up at 5 and then goes off the scale - its only a 15 psi gauge mind. Debben build motor so non standard. I ...
