Hi All
I'm slowly working on resurrecting my 1937 Model 9. Crankcase zipped up, new cylinder liner and piston, head refurbished with new valves, guides and springs ( thanks Thomas). I've had the cam followers ground and polished but my cams are in poor condition. Does any one have a photograph of the cams that show the lift.
I haven't bolted the head down tightly as I'm not sure whether there was a head gasket originally fitted. My engine came with an obviously homemade copper gasket but I've used valve grinding paste on head and barrel and appear to have a gas tight mating.
Gasket or not?
Anyone have good cams they with to part with?
Hi Brett, unfortunately I don't have the exact dimensions of the cams. Maybe the picture will help you. The head never had a seal and you did everything right with the grinding paste. Perhaps Chris Odling in the Hebrides can help you with the cams. He successfully refurbished my cam followers.
Cheers, Thomas
