I dont get it SO pistons /cams only ? why would you want to run stock springs ,buckets etc what are you saving ? you removed the head but didnt install the better springs ,buckets , retainers etc and get rid of the over bucket shims and then your limited to 6800 rpm ??? and end up with 200 hp OK whatever you like
 
valve springs were in my previous bike and they didn't save the cam bearings from failing and destroying my engine. Leave high rpm's for engines with smaller parts too much friction and heat and metal turns blue s h i t goes bad and you need a new motor. I'll take the power under 6800 rpm.
 
Steve, was this in a Rocket motor? Where did you source the parts? If in a Rocket, who put it together for you? Did you also reuse stock shims and retainers?

Oh, Steve, your nightmare was with a Harley, so that's to be expected. What in the world does that have to do with any modded 2,294cc, three cylinder Rocket motors which are such better engines from the factory than anything The Motor Company has ever made for the public? That goes double for a Carpenter modded Rocket motor and 1.75 times for a Nev Lush bike. Your joking, right?

Should I tell you all about the rod we threw on our old 1966 Benelli 150????
 
HEY i raced BENELLIS in the past and blew a couple rods also LOL
 
Dummy... you're supposed to use extra virgin olive oil!

BTW, I can't seem to trace a small oil leak on my second bike. Where do I start?
