Toucan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What kind of engine is it? Stuff doing it on anything more than a single cylinder, you'd never get any of the lobes the same. Crackup though, I definately see the funny side of angle grinding cams, do it for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackup though, I definately see the funny side of angle grinding cams, do it for us thats what its about. none of the lobes will be within 2mm of each other. if it never runs again ill give it to a mate or take to the tip. not think of it again. though ill try it again on a single in a few months. its a hunk of shit gsx400x impulse, 400cc 4cylinder DOHC but with shitty twin port carbs. weak point on the bike. until 170-180 when coils show there weak shitty bits that should be on hyobag i have another running impulse to compare it to if it does go (badly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vvega Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 bike motor will pritty much have max lift already better to just weld the ramps and get the duration up there in saying that .....a high reving bike already has some good duration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 if it's a semi decent bike or engine give it to me for like $50 and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsnik Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 bike motor will pritty much have max lift alreadybetter to just weld the ramps and get the duration up there in saying that .....a high reving bike already has some good duration Not that high revving and doesnt pull well over 12k. But thats probably more that the air box doesnt seal on the carb. Even with duct tape and silicone. Technically I dont mind sacrificing the bottom end pull for more theoretical top end pull, realistically I dont mind destroying the bike. It was a free. I will take photos of the cam lobe weld an hack job for your viewing lols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrupt Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 this old bogan dude suggested that i took the same approach to my cortina's cam cause he used to do it and it was miiint. he suggested making the peak of the lobe flat. i never got round to it.
