Lucky Phil Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 The squish is 1,8mm, almost optimal value. Ok thanks, good to know. I'd prefer if it was around 1.2mm but 1.8 is better than what it must have been with the std composite gasket at 2.6mm if the metal one is 0.8 thinner. Really 2.6mm cant be considered a squish band at all, pretty much useless. A thinner base gasket will get it to the 1.2mm mark I'm sure. Ciao
gelos Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Just so, I think the same. I´ve machined 0,7mm from cylinder head down face, the squish area is flat, not bevelled, CR rise about 11:1. And now is time to rebuild to double spark ignition. Before

docc Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Fins look nice! Makes you want to to paint, then shine the edges? Hey, but, what's up with those cam lobes? Looks like they were re-contoured and didn't hold up so well? 1
LowRyter Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 you're going to use that cam as is? or get it reconditioned? 1
SMDL Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 That cam looks like it will work just fine... as a billy club, or maybe a modern art piece. Or, maybe it will have a new life as a movie prop for a martial arts film. Cheers Shaun 1
knumbnutz Posted December 12, 2016 Author Posted December 12, 2016 Haha, I was wondering what you guys would think about the cam. It was an ornament in the local guzzi shop. Tis f$%&ked badly. No I won't be using it... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk 1
