K2 Cam Lobe tolerances
« on: November 22, 2016, 09:52:51 PM »
I only have an original Honda K0 workshop manual - can anyone tell me the minimum wear dimension/tolerances for the inlet and exhaust cam lobes on the 750k2. I assume the KO camshaft id different?
One for you Trig me thinks!
Thanks

R9 is stamped next to sprocket - only other numbers are B and T between 3 & 4 cams - should I be looking for some other numbers Graham?

OK, its a R9 cam. You need 35.50 or above on the inlet (service limit 7.93 on the lift) and 35.10 or above on the exhaust (service limit 7.43 on the lift). If the lobes are not pitted and worn equally, it is good to go.

Thanks Graham - they are within those figures do that's good - the K0 Honda workshop manual states 35.86 and 35.36 and they where all on or slightly under that so it's a relief they are now within tolerance!
