1000j engine cam timing / cam sprockets
Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2022 8:53 pm
I've got a 1000j engine here with a Gpz1100A / Unitrac inlet cam and standard 1000j exhaust cam. Motor is otherwise fairly standard. The cam sprockets have been slotted and cam timing was way off when checked - compression was very low.
I've reset cam timing "by eye/experience" to more or less standard and now have reasonable compression.
So my question is:
IS THERE ANY REASON WHY NOT TO USE STANDARD - UN SLOTTED "J" CAM SPROCKETS with standard 110 Deg LC's ????
Its just a "runner" and not a "racer" and doing away with the slotted sprockets will surely keep it more simple in future !
All help / advice appreciated.
N.B. I thought I'd leave the 1100 inlet cam in to save replacing the inlet with standard / doing the shims - just lazy !!
