Here is the latest addition. 1275 bored .020" oversize, 10:1 comp.
It's a bit lumpy at idle but pulls revs quite well. This eng is going into a customer's worked road car. 4 wheel discs, fully adjustable coil over suspension, beefed up gearbox with LSD.
These heads fit the 1275 as well as the small bore engs with minimal re-boring.
This engine has all magnesium alloy pullys and still runs the std bike carbys. I have redesigned the adapter plate and it now fits both types of engines apart from thickness required for comp. ratio.
A few things to change for oil cooler set-up and filter system for head, and rev limiter, but these will be done when installed.

This is the video of the 1100 engine with .040" same set up for carbies etc. this engine is for sale[see for sale section]

that 1275 sounds tough, it must have a bunch of overlap.

Do the Honda's have a more aggressive profile than the BMW heads?

Farked if I know, I just kept adjusting the cams, gave it more fuel and tried it. It kept idling and reved with no hesitation. I might put the eng degree disc on and see what it is. I thought that it would cough and splutter sooner or later but it didn't.

Hey Matt I hope you are going to stick that yammy head on one of those little strokers you are building. A little puffer as well and LOOK OUT. That would be a awsome engine. Those yammys are a magnificent piece of technology.

As for the little laugh, I had been working on it for 36hrs straight, and it was one of those jobs where ever little thing would give you the sh!!!!!ts.
Even when I started to film it when I first started it I forgot to turn the fuel on, phone battery went flat.

That idea of a helmet camera is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!. It's a bitch when you first run these things and you need more arms than a octapuss, checking everthing at once and listening for every little noise.
When it ran out of fuel I checked every thing except the obvious
Any way sit it in a corner and go on with the rest of the car, after I have a massive clean up. the workshop looks like a chinese brothel after a heap of drunken sailers have been there for a week.
Maybe I should get an apprentice, the missus does not know how to use a broom and anyway she has to work to support me

OZ-Spy have great little CCD cubes,,, colour & sound,,, really good things, $200,,, we mount these under our visor on the helmets (out of the way for if,,, no sorry "When" we crash But they need some sort of recording devise to plug into (like a video camera / handy cam, with an "AV In" plug (rare tho) panasonic used to make one but not sure what`s avaliable these days

so i use a JNC mulit media player/recorer to plug it into, shove it in my pocket & off we go,,, has good sized screen, button lock outs so you don`t bump them on/off when you don`t want to, & only about $400

there are quite a few Down hill mountain bike videos with my helmet cam footage involved

But there are water proof pencil type cameras avaliable now too,,, with battery & memory card already in them, strap it on & have a play (sounds kinky i know ) check out e-bay , they`re great cameras ,,, a friend of mine bought a couple for his race car (after he`d been using mine for years) so now i want one for when i go surfing These ones are only about $200 all up, job done.

It's amazing the cameras that they have now. My daughter's b/f just bought one of those cameras on a thin flexabile wand. pull a spark plug out ,shove it it the hole and look around.
you can look all around the inside of a cylinder, check the v/v's out.
This modern technology is unreal. I think back when I was his age and I was using a log book to do mathamatical calculations
