the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

I thought that I would leave an update on progress.

Here’s the engine running on the test bed.

Finally, here we are. It was in and ready to go last August, but a stray washer jumped the inlet camshaft by four teeth, so before turning a wheel, the engine needed a strip and rebuild. No valve to piston contact damage thankfully.

Installation pics and video of first start, last weekend. There’s a hell of an echo from the inlet plenum, that has now gone with the inlet air filter and inlet tract.

Hi, question for those who know more than me, my K100 conversion is based on an A Plus block and crank, with a centre main bearing strap.

What’s a reasonable rev limit for long term reliability?

All ideas gratefully received.
