2 forum posts	Hi, Firstly, let me confess I'm super new to this. For me second project I've decided to have a go at the little Demon, I know its a crazy second project. My question to wise members of this forum is, when looking at the cam of inlet value 6 and 7 they look identical. Given none of the other inlet valves are identically timed does anyone know why this is the case?

If you have any questions about the build email Steve Huck his address is with the drawings, he's very approachable.
