Camshaft Cap Wanted

#1 PostAuthor: IrishKev » Wed Sep 09, 2015 7:21 pm

Hi
I am looking for a Camshaft Cap for my Z1A. If anyone has one for sale I would be interested in getting my hands on one.
The No1 Camshaft Cap on my Z1A has to be replaced. Does it have to be a number No1 Camshaft Cap or will any of the other numbered Camshaft Caps do the job.

Cheers Irishkev

Kev you may need a few of them just to get one that will give you free enough movement without binding, can I assume you will be doing this on the bench without valves in the head.

You will need to match it up very carefully, as they can vary quite a bit due to the line boring. If you just buy one there's virtually no chance it will fit properly as is unless you're very lucky. Can be done okay though but just not a straight forward swop.

Ideally you want a handful of number one caps to have the best chance of one fitting without too much mucking about.
What is wrong with your original one ?
