[QUOTE="davidd, post: 96925, member: 1177"] Nigel, Godet's Flashes have a high pressure oil pump and no stock oil pump. He had the advantage of building the case from scratch. The oil pump chamber is used as a distribution chamber for the pressurized oil. If you were to buy a 500 engine from him you also have to have his ufm as they are a matched pair. The ufm is designed to work with the high pressure pump and it also distributes the oil differently than stock. I was not aware that many bikes had hardened cams as it is relatively expensive. I have my cams hardened when I order them. The followers from the Club, I believe, are already hardened and do not need Stellite. I have had them tested and the have turned out to be 60. The hardened cams tend to run 60 to 65. David [/QUOTE]
