Hiding a powerplant in a residential neighborhood?

[carbon-rod]

Interesting XYZER, I actually remember a thread about this you probably posted it originally.... I will definitely have to check the exact timing on the engine when it comes... It will be good to map out the timing exactly how they are stock and measure the widths and sizes of the components so I can track the engines health. I am planning to run WVO in it which shouldn't be too abrasive however I have learnt acidity could be an issue so it will be nice to be able to record measurements of components and compare them over time.

If my intake is noisy expect an email from me to find out some exact details of your engine  

so the actual hole in the cam lobe was driled incorrectly? would a replacement (correct) lobe help fix the issue?

A replacement camshaft will - assuming that it has been jigged and drilled correctly.

ah righto, I need to get my hands on the engine so I can see how everything is mounted, I was hoping it was a keyed lobe or something that could be removed.. oh well.

I have considered getting another camshaft assembly and trying it. Also using the quiet one as a master and having the noisy one ground to match......it could also be the gear on the crank......You sell cam assemblys dieselman?

We are temporarily out of stock here on assemblies but do have most of the parts such as replacement lobes and gears etc.. These can sometimes be used to repair a bad assembly.

It would be great to have some technical drawings of the correct one so that we could measure our own at different points to see if that is the issue... XYZER maybe if you're really bored on a sunday afternoon you can whip it out and measure it for us?

The cam shaft that is.... 

It's a bit hard to measure angular inaccuracies though I guess...

[dieselgman]

I do have the specifications - degree wheel measurements for opening and closing the valves.

[carbon-rod]

feel like posting them on here?

I will use them once I get the engine and check to see if I have noisy timing...

Thanks dieselgman

Then it is hard to fix the goobers you find. It is difficult to find what is off....the gear..the intake lobe then the exhaust......or then it could be the press fit cam gear on the crank.....the crank gear could be pulled off and relocated easy....a complete teardown! The lobes and gear could be dissasembled and if you had the special fixture that holds the lobes and gear in proper rotation to each other while you re drilled and taper reamed for tapered pins. I don't want to use the Indian fixture! I figured if I trip across a spare cam assembly I would try it and if it was noisy I would use the quiet one and have a cam guy duplicate it and my spare. Then if somone else has a noisy one grind it like mine.

Here is the diagram and OEM figures...

With a wrap of masking tape and a cloth measuring tape, it would be pretty easy to make a degree wheel right on the flywheel and measure the cam.

Get a drill rod for the shaft, drill the lobes for a set screw, then degree it out, lock in place with the set screws.
Then all you need is a drill press and a good 'ol reamer for the taper pins and you can roll your own as it were.

Sounds good, fingers crossed my engine will be quiet to begin with...

Hey Carbon-rod!  I was referring to my Xing Dong S1100 being noisy as all get out. I don't  have a Lister(oid). Yet.
Sorry for my misinterpreting the post!
