Arto is right, cover needs some modifications.

Seems to me that if you're going to be advertising, you should be supporting. Just my opinion. But I don't see it to be fair to the other Sponsors that do support Rennlist.

I suppose Revline Racing, Deutsch Nine and Vitesse Racing are Rennlist supporters. Gruppe951 is just a bunch of Finnish 951 friends and you are not able to buy Gruppe951 parts anywhere, because they are not meant to for sale, they are just for me and my friends. In the first place we just wanted these gears and the only way to get them was to order some extra ones. Those extra wheels have been sold by my friends in Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.

Waggas, you were informed that some modifications are needed prior to agreeing to sell you the cam sprocket. You sound as if you didn't know this already!

Good advice, perhaps EVERYONE should follow it. Olli is not selling anything here, so his post is not advertisement.

Perhaps it has been covered, but what piston and cylinder/sleeve combo do you run?
And what's the pink stuff seen through the spark plug hole??

I guess it depends on how obvious you want to be. But I agree, everyone that advertises parts for sale as a business should be a supporter.

Darton sleeves
JE pistons
The purple stuff is play-dough we used to check the piston to valve clearances.

Here are some pictures of the cam cover where it required some grinding. I was wondering if the rotor hooks will cause any clearance issues since its already going to be close to the cam gear?

If someone wants to commerically sell their wares on Rennlist, they need to contact IB and become an official Rennlist Sponsor (approved ones are listed up top and updated often) otherwise they are violating various articles in the Charter rules which are posted.

Mr. Spoolin, when do you think this project will be done?
