If you look at his posting, I did suggest a few places that lazer-cut alloy motorbike parts. The Artesiani rearsets y...

Engine woodruff Keys puzzler

Stripping down a 350 motor. Ive got the primary gears off but I cant shift EITHER the chunky rectangular woodruff-key from its home in the crank nose on the primary side or the much smaller half-moon woodruff key on the other side.

Best 31/2 cam for all-round flexibility?

How is an M cam in a 3 1/2 motor with Strada pistons? Im not interested in hunting for top-end power, more interested in decent torque
