Thanks Menno ,only just seen your reply.
Mine has cleaned up very well actually.
Amazing what can happen when someone carries out a "re build"
Take a look at the ill fitting head gasket, no wonder there was no oil in it,,helped to oil the outside of the engine. the gasket doesn't cover the oil return hole from the top end.
In it's past life looks like a piston has blown up, bit of work to do cleaning up the comb [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] ustion chamber.

Sent the cam away middle of last week to David Newman Cams in Orpington Kent.
What a great company 4 lobes re-profiled and main journal skimmed .
Now just to get the head re bushed to suit the cam .
This bike had been severely bodged in it's history,loads of red Hermatite everywhere .
Take look what is appearing out of the oil hole that had the most wear.
Cam back in less than a week and £60 all in Result
Laverda Dave:
Looking good Rich. Newman Cams are very good. Mike Newman is always happy to chat on the phone as well.
Trigger:
You have to work out how to make a bush that will not spin in the housing ;)
Laverda Dave:
You could try Russell at J D Autoworx in Wallington, Surrey who may be able to make a bush with a suitable peg arrangement. Last time I visited he was developing a bushing arrangement for SOHC engines.
