Here...I'm hopefully going to get to borrow one. Here's another story:<br /><br />"I had a BSA in here... the guy who rebuilt the motor took lapping compound and lapped the cam into the bushing instead of reaming the bushing with a tool, then when he fired up the bike that shit went through the engine and ruined all the bushings and bearings."Vorhesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604268632015981549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797492918795165337.post-66551621117794520932012-09-05T15:28:05.607-07:002012-09-05T15:28:05.607-07:00Bummer. I've talked to more than one Greybeard...Bummer. I've talked to more than one Greybeard type that says don't change those cam bushings unless they are definitely beyond spec. <br /><br />I changed them in my T100 because hell, it's a new engine, right? I took them to the local Triumph extortion dude because I wasn't too sure I'd ever need the proprietary reamer again and I knew he had one. It cost me $45 if I remember correctly and I wound up with EXACTLY the same in spec clearances. I wasn't too stoked. I suspect a good machinist could do a better job but it would probably cost a good bit more too. BitMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864008598676484053noreply@blogger.com
