    Valve timing

    Doesn't matter that he has that crank configuration, they're independant in all respects. A few degrees of overlap between exhaust and induction is not going to hurt anything, can make the engine feel funny when rotated otherwise. I'd like to see a photo a bit more top view showing the...

    Hi From Australia,

    If you have the module no. and teeth numbers, and the other required gear cutting equipment, not difficult. Other than that, one can get gears from places like Aliexpress at a quite reasonable price. Sometimes the latter will save some time......did it a couple of weeks ago on a single cylinder...
