What cam is this?
« on: August 09, 2015, 05:13:04 pm »
Not sure how to identify it - thoughts? Compared to a stock cam it looks a bit... lumpy  ;D

Came out of bike with a 900cc Henry Abe kit in it. No other work (I can identify) done to the head.





Let me know and thanks!

While I'm at it - nothing special about this designation on the rods? They look stock to me but WTH do I know? :)

It looks like one of the early billet cams, not a welded regrind. The info on Satanic Mechanic states "lobe clearancing needed"; after seeing those lobes, I can understand why.

RC used stock rods for 2 upgrades. Bushed small ends and/or larger bolts. Believe both were shot peened. Gonna be stronger than stock.

That's a BF cam!  ;) What's under the washer on the other end?

Is the rest of the engine OK? The HA kit OK?  Yes and yes, put it back together!! AFTER you do the head  ;D ;D The rings are available from Total Seal and I can get you the part numbers.

Let us see some pics of the ports; with the goodies so far, one would guess that some head work had been done?

Henry made 2 pistons. Show me a pic of yours. If it's the 'other' one then we just need to verify the ring land width.

These might do the trick?

That's the right one for mentioned rings from Total Seal.
Top Ring 203778
2nd ring 201336
Oil Ring 3 piece 001549

I have the older model that I need one oil ring for, 1 piece. See photos
The ring heights are same as my old HA 900. 1.5 1.5  2.8 mm
I'm not sure about the piston diameters. - Are your newer model of same diameter as mine?
Mine are over 67mm over the skirts.

If I know that I can order a ring kit too.

Answer from Total Seal end of June this year
"Those items would make up a 67mm set with a 1.5 1.5 2.8 combo. They are not in stock but can be made up. We would need about a week to complete and would be a cost of $196.87 for a 4cyl set."

would be a cost of $196.87 for a 4cyl set.  FUKN OUCH!! Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes..... ;) A heckuva lot cheaper than starting over with a new big bore kit though!

Yep, those are the same as the one I sent them a few years back to measure.

257* @ .040" lift. The rule of thumb is to add 50* to .050" lift to get advertised duration, but I've never seen a rule of thumb for .040"..

It was a surprise for sure - guy I bought it from thought it "maybe" had an 836 kit in it.

I timed my last cam, measured both at.040 and .050, the latter about 7° less on all numbers.
