| ============================================================ Want to save a fortune? It's fast, easy, and fun with outrageous deals from TopOffers. http://click.topica.com/caaacgJb1dfltb2uzY8a/TopOffers ============================================================ I'm rebuilding the engine that came with my 1972 basket case. i actually got 2 engines with the package, one engine has numbers that match the frame so i'll use that case. However the crankshaft, pistons, cylinders from that engine don't look so good. The other engine has good components, but it has the chain driven camshaft. (The original engine was gear drive.) Questions: (1) Are there any parts from the chain driven engine that cannot be substituted into a gear driven block? |
(2) Is gear driven cam
| preferred over chain drive? |
your chain ever.
(3) The oil pumps are different, the
| original engine has straight cut gears the chain driven engine has helical cut gears, and the driving gear of the oil pump is supported by 2 needle bearings. |
into the block, the gear drive pump does not have the pins, the pumps are
not interchanchangeable, the cams are the same. You can use the gear driven
block, the oil pump and gears that came with it and all of the other parts
are interchangeable.
Whats up here?
Thanks for any insight, I'm a rookie in the MotoGuzzi department. |
