OK folks,
This will be relatively short, as things are still ongoing. Tonight I will be picking up the cam caps, which arrived late last week but I was too busy to go get them – bad Nath. The Silverback has taken the head off the engine body, and everything is now apart. Matty will be picking up the head soon and taking it to get skimmed to ensure while we have the bike apart that it will be going back together properly. While the engine is apart, Silverback has decided to have a go at doing the shims where needed for the cams. A new prospect for him, but it provides a great learning experience at this stage for my Dad, who is an avid home mechanic, and loves to tinker.
Once this has been completed, the engine can be put back together, which will require the proffered assistance from James Wilcockson – who is a complete chief. I’ll need to find out his favourite drink, I think.
Once this is done, we can build the bike back up, and get it onto the dyno, where James will adjust the fuelling to suit and get hopefully, a little more power out of the 600.
Will keep you guys updated, for whoever is reading this!
