    The main bearings will take a beating I'm sure so I took a picture of the 307's bearings for reference to check after I break in the cam......

    The heads I'm using will help in the compression and torque department of the Twin, nothing fancy for now, besides a McTim 3 angle valve job.....

    59CC 1.840 Intake 1.500 Exhaust 305 CI heads
    No photos but the cam is right on, with the piston at TDC on overlap (both lifters up) the intake lifter is about .030 higher than the exhaust, good enough check (on a single pattern cam) for me and I'm looking forward to "Fire in the Holes" this weekend!

    OK fellow HAMB Brothers and Sisters I captured some video this morning! Standing over the flywheels was on my mind and this video being on a "They Survived" reality show was a thought:D

    badass....Thanks for the info guys...Ive always wanted to know how they did this
     
  28. Rocky, I'm impressed with the progress you've made in less than 3 weeks. I'd feel a lot better if both engines had a blow proof can. Ya know, flywheels can come appart without a clutch!
