Just be very careful as it can contaminate and dilute the oil if it leakes into the motor.

Sic

didn't it have hard cranking issues before the cam change?

Ando

If the cam timing was out wouldn't that show in the compression test? 1 cylinder much different to the other?

max, yeah its always been like that

but for piece of mind i think ill go back into the cam chest and make sure

ive got the box here with my old cams in it, all the numbers on the box tell me they are 57H Andrews

That could well be the answer. wasn't aware of 76cc heads. Any way to identify them from outside??
that 76 and a fair build up of carbon say heads and pistons to the value of 4cc gets it at 221ccp on bigboys calculator with the 57's

ok ,
how do i tell if they 76cc heads from the outside hilly

Sic,

You obviously have not had the bike from new?? Any way to contact the previous owner?

My 57s in my stock 96 go hard right up past 5000rpm. Not up there often, but it it was still pulling last time I looked down at the speedo at about 5500!
