I wish to thank every one and my apologies to anyone i may have missed.

stay tuned for photos and performance results..

 

Good luck w/ the fine tuning.

Cant wait to see those time slips.

 

shim under or shim over?

 

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

 

drive shaft? I have looked at those things and thought (boat anchor). Are you running a harmonic balancer?

 

You use the Hydrolic units, take the center piston out, Schrick supply a new center piston, so its a conversion.

My Valves where tipped for clearance

 

The gear on the intermediate drive shaft does not clear the rod on cylinder 4 on a 92.8mm crank.

The Gear was actually ground down with a 45 deg Cut to give it clearance.

Also the Shaft is Cast, the whole center section wobbles on a lathe, they are all like that, so we slightly machined the center shaft also.
