Reply To: Valve clearance, camshaft, camshaft tensioner – a problem or a serious fault?
I feel like i have to send you some spare engine parts at this time, do you think you have a local source to grab cylinder heads (doesn’t matter condition of valves) because you can re-use your old ones and maybe spare used pistons & spare cylinders , at least this time, you can make a build for one last time that should cross the 125 psi mark (not ideal but it is survivable for a good while , just don’t go racing!)
I am sorry about the stripped spark plugs but i have a SUSPICION that you may have been sold fake NGK’s , oh yes , the most faked plug on the planet , so unless you got it from a direct distributor that NGK Japan knows, then that’s strange! – That has never ever happened on my side, i have probably touched maybe 500+ spark plugs from my bikes and fixing customer bikes and even old cars i owned in the past , that just never happens. I can excuse the plug breaking if it was covered in rust and vehicle was dumped in the river etc.
