Cylinder head cam caps

#1 PostAuthor: **Jerry** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 5:35 pm

Anyone got any spare/redundant Z1 cam caps? And before you all lay into me, yes, I know they match the heads, but a bit of line-boring will put that right.

Jerry,
I've got a set that I think originally came from an ST. They're yours if you want 'em.

Sounded like a good question; I was under the impression this could not be done, however I am well aware my knowledge of zeds is negligible compared to some on here so I am very interested in how and if this can be done. :?:

On another thread :-

Dave Said--"What is it with this club lately, If you sell for good money your criticised, If you pay good money for something you need/want your criticised, If you restore your criticised if you build a special your criticised, Have we turned into a club of hate the worlds and every one in it trying to get on, Or has every one got an opinion they really need to voice, It's putting me off the club rapid..................."

Thanks for all your help guys, Ginger, I'm not sure but the ST ones MAY be different, thanks for the offer, I'll try and twist Iain's arm first. As for how it's done, I use the motto "nothing is impossible". There's actually a fairly big tolerance on the caps, if you've got enough choice, trial and error sorts it out. At worst, build up the bearing land with weld and then line-bore back to standard. I need these caps for a head that is, unfortunately, irreplaceable and capless!
