lesson learned Hondas rule !
Honda makes Quads , Yamaha makes pianos
The one I used was off a Mitsubishi Starion Turbo. It looks like the OEM one, just 2X+ the size.
It's important to block off the oil line going to the cam (if you're using the FST design). I used a BB and some JB Weld. Let me know if you want more specifics.
I mounted mine solidly to the frame, though might add some anti-vibe spacers later.
Great job!
Ahh the moment of truth has finally arrived, glad to here it's up and running. Fill us in on how it performs, I hope she rips. My project will start later this winter on a stock 01 so we can go though this fine exchange of thoughts all over again lol.
Thanks again to all the contributors on this interesting topic...
Mine lives too.
Rode it around for about 30 min yesterday, just breaking in the motor. I'll probably do the same again today.
Initial feel- about like the 12.5:1 on race fuel felt like. But it's been several months since I've ridden it, so take that with a grain of salt.
Glad to hear that. Hope it lives up to your expectationsMine lives too.Rode it around for about 30 min yesterday, just breaking in the motor. I'll probably do the same again today.
I had about a 1hour reprieve from the monsoon were having around here the last couple days (since the motor was assembled ) But it does sound pretty good and the original vibration seems to have gone away while setting the rings . If time and weather allow I hope to get a chance to break it in right on mon or tue.
And one more thing... you just cant beat the smell of cam2
