Then Rob points out its highly unlikely that you would loose 500 thou of the back of the cam... MY GUESS .... Valves bee...

Re: Impound for Motorcycles
It was all a pleasure Dave.. Thing is..... Professionalism works between the hours of 925, as my number states. The "IMPOUND HOTEL" is open after that.. and not long after we revert back to being Baboons.. http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/ab115/SOLTOP10/LAKE%20GAIRDNER%202014/speedweeksa...

Re: Honda MG & MF 750
Oil control ring twisted during assembly...
Went back through your build diary to see what sort of rings you were using . .(cant find )
If you were using totalseal piston rings .. Their oil expander ring is extremely suspect..
Just saying..

Re: is braided brake line accepted in production classes
Basic answer... NO. This is how it works.. The scruitineer is there to primarily check your bike for saftey. It is your decision on which class it belongs . The scrutineer might point out to you that your braided line does not belong in production class , and it is up to you if you take his advice.....
