    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.

  • 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.

Thank Gawd no-one ever claimed self control was one of your virtues.*:-D

Dink
 
apparently you have the same affliction as a lot of us on here - "can't leave well enough alonitis" :-D
 
I just watched a busa "PINKS" and want to go for a ride....prob a good thing she is in pieces.....aahahahahaha
 
I am already planning for next winters turbo install....I got it bad this yr..
 
good thing I ripped her apart.

My cams (new web cams) are destroyed. large ridges in the journals. In another thread I posted pics of my freshly tested crank (600miles ago) before it was put together last time and it is .006 out. Checked myself this time.
Throwing in the 1260, sending the crank to Stan Gardner back east for a complete crank and clutch job with strait cut gears.

What a pain! New cams are a crap shoot. Break-in is so hard to get perfect and then even if they aren't surface hardened just right a perfect break-in makes no difference.

I have heard from more than one source that Web billets are too soft and that Megacycle makes a better product. My only personal experience has been with regrinds, CamMotion has worked well for me.

Dude, one thing-IMO, you have a beautiful bike with classic lines, don't clutter it up by putting a turbo on it. Turbos belong hidden under the hood of automobiles, not strapped externally on classic bikes. Just my opinion.

Let the flaming begin,
Ed.

Ed, I won't flame you. I like turbos myself.

First, I have been using Web for a little while without any problems. My friends have been using them for several years. Mine are very close to stock. Friends engines are all N/A and have a much higher lift. The only problem we have seen is when we did not have the rockers done. This wasn't Webs fault. Doesn't mean that there couldn't be bad cams being made, we just havn't seen them. Lots of assembly lube. I also take a lot more time with break-in now days.
 
The odd thing about the cams is. The lobes are fine its the journals that are grooved and only 180 degrees, on both ends of both cams on the base circle side.
 
Looks like an oil pressure issue or maybe that set of cams has too small of clearance when the cam caps are bolted down.

How do the cam journals and caps looks?
 
here is the thing,

top end oiling kit, hi-flow oil pump gear, brand new oil pump..

I checked the cams by removing the followers and bolting them in. they spun freely.
 
You could use some plastic-gage and bolt the cam caps back on the cams then remove them and read the clearance. On mine the oil clearance should be between .0013 to .0026 in. If it checks good then I'd look at the oil system.
 
You may want to remove the oil lines and check for any obstruction near the fitting ends. Sometimes the inner liner can twist or is deform causing blockage???
