[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 132685, member: 3426"] Good read David. I’m guessing that one of the silver linings to Greg’s operation is that he is continually learning about new undiscovered Vincent quirks along with the wondrous things you see when the timing cover is popped off. At least I think it’s a silver lining... Fortunately with this engine, the cases are NOS, and everything that has gone into or is going into the timing chest is new except for the followers which are getting refaced with stelite. Further to the simmonds nuts, (now that I know what they are called). I wonder if the sometimes the spindles are partly to blame..... the way they are threaded and heat treated? Some of them look like they might be a source of drama. The cams I’m using already have the pinions installed, so just for fun I will see if my cheap endoscope will give me a little better view of the follower alignment. Not sure if that makes sense, but will give it a try and find out. Wish I could order stuff from McMaster Carr. Ps.. A recent “quirk” that I became aware of is the ridiculousness runout on some of the C20/1 . In speaking with others it turns out it’s not all that unusual. You just have to know to look for it and treat them all with suspicion. Sorry for the sidebar to the sidebar over to the clutch department. [/QUOTE]
