Re: SP250 advance curve.
Hands on experience says that total adv with std ign system requires 40 - 45 * total, MSD high output or similar brings it back to 37* all in at 2800 rpm. (numerous Dyno pulls on different cars ) Interestingly with the independent runner (8 throttles, this comes back to 30 * --- better fuel distribu...

Re: 2 1/2 crankshaft bearings..
Nope, another false lead. XRN Engineering in the UK were said to supply a new range of copper/lead King bearings for british classics. Unfortunatley this is not the case. just heard back from them. Only AM type available for this application. So , i'm onto the altered versions. I did have the though...

Re: 2 1/2 crankshaft bearings..
Oops, typo there, --- bearings 2 and 4 could be made wider. I would say that Russ would have covered this but Denis Stewart ( at times on here) has the file to machine a four bolt main centre cap if anyone would like to contact him.

Re: 2 1/2 crankshaft bearings..
My ponderings , re cam followers/ roller /flat. Yes a roller follower would be an advantage -- totally different cam profile is possible then, much more area under the cam graph line.

Re: 2 1/2 crankshaft bearings..
