    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1: Does anyone out there run a higher lift on the intake cam than they do the exhaust?

2: Do you need to run valve lash caps after a certain amount of lift, or is that only for titanium valves?

3: When running high lift cams (370 or higher) on the street, would you be better off to degree the intake cam 5 degrees or more lower than exhaust, or keep both degreed about the same?
 
The degree of the cams all depends on what riding style you plan on doing.
 
Send a PM or wait for rapidray to come along. He is knowledgeable about 16v 1100 engines.

It is common on many engines for the intake to be of a higher lift than the exhaust. the exhaust port only needs to flow 60% of what the intake does to make maximum power in a naturally aspirated engine. (turbo is another story)

the lash caps are for the softer titanium valves.

cam timing numbers are secret govenrment data protected for national security.
