This part doesn't make sense to me;

APE p/n ACS900K adjustable camshaft sprockets, early 30 tooth. ACS1000K for Mark 2 bottom end.

Surely if it's a Mk 2 bottom end with a 16 tooth crank sprocket you'd need 32 teeth on your cam sprockets?

think its a typing error, as he has given reference numbers for two different adjustable sprockets ?

I would expect it's a typo. I am in no doubt that Joe knows what he's doing.

Here you go GB.

Ian
That is an easy one.
When your head and cylinder were built, we used a 1977 KZ1000 head provided by you from Melvin Ormel.
We originally installed 30 tooth sprockets and recorded that on the invoice.
When you changed gears and wanted us to build the complete motor using a KZ1000 Mark 2 bottom end, we changed the camshaft sprockets, but not the invoice.
If the sprockets had been mismatched, we could never have timed the camshafts and checking compression would have led to bending every valve.

I should hope Joe does know what he's doing after all that invoice list :shock:

Ian, I'm looking forward to more news of this build.
Best wishes :up

Just waiting for Harris now, still reckon it's going to be next year until I see it!
They have to fit the fairing and make sure all the brackets are their, the ones that are not needed with be removed. The tank needs to be altered because there is a big gap now since we are not using the original tail unit, the wheels need to be fitted and spaces made, new discs are being made as well. Then it will all need to be stripped ready for powder coating, after that it will be boxed up and sent down here by boat! So even if it was ready now and sent in the morning I'd only see it at the beginning of November anyway :roll:

My dear Jimmock, Harris frames are much better than Norman Hyde frames!
