![]() 1181 forum posts 669 photos | Thanks for the responses. Cam followers appear fine, BUT will check for uneven contact with trial assembly. Thanks for the offer Chris, and I will take you up on it if my grinding proves less than satisfactory, after I put the camshaft, block and valve gear back together and rotate the cam to check followers/lobe contact. Grinding done, using the high speed drilling machine as per photo, and in a typical Heath Robinson fashion by sliding the vice around the table. A quick lick on X-fine diamond card and result as seen. Easier than I expected. Geoff - SU carb, that will replace the original, stripped for cleaning and refurbishing.
