PS2 If you can't add anything constructive to this thread then please refrain from posting!

If I thought you were purposely trolling I could very easily let you spend a little R&R time in the sin bin!



Please go ahead and Sin Bin me - probably best to let me cool down anyway. Let me know how long for.

PS: Your 100 amp fuse you sold to me as part of your travel spares kit is now doing sterling service in my Chim

The SP6 will keep having issues untill the problems are resolved.

1/Wrong cam angle
2/chinese followers
3/indian cranks that are badly out of balance hence balance pulleys.
4/oil distribution allowed to flow better.
5/wan#ers driving them like they stole it from cold.

Seems like 4 and 2 are being dealt with. 4 less critical as the engine is already twin pumped but one could help the situation by keeping the foot off the throttle on start up rather than give it the big one.
Hear it all the time at the essex meets.

My opinion is they need a goog thrashing around a track at least 3 times a year and less of the posing down southend sea front.

the sp6 is under less stress at higher revs.

Never labour her.

Sound advice there. The engines should be balanced as part of the package really, mine has been done, and I must say, the engine is just sweet. I had mine done when the cams went, and I had a new head put on at the same time. The only piece of engibe that is origional is the Block, the rest is new, and for the 2005 engine, it just sings...

Taken alot to get it to this state, and, now might have to sell it. Wife is pregnant, impending ££££'s to be spent on sprogit. All good things come to an end....
