Here's a little test run we did last night just to see that everything is working well before the weekend. If something is going to go wrong I don't want to have it happen on the strip.
Everything seems to be working except it has a wicked shimmy at high speed, I think my new front tires need to be balenced.

Hollow Head (4/10/2012)
Job well done again Tim! Did you have a helmet cam? Would be nice see your wheelies from the cockpit side too...  . I will take the camera but I still don't have the best mount, we'll see just how steady it rides.

I just talked to Ted this morning and he said he is publishing an article in an upcoming YBM with an extensive list of reasons for cam failure. There is a whole lot more to consider than just oil. I will say this, in any case if your cam is going to fail it will most likely happen in the first 20 min. of running.

Tim how did the lifters look? I just tore down a mild 292 to change to a street cam and noticed several lobes wearing on my cam as well there is something going on here. Too many failures to chalk it up to just one of those things. I am getting paranoid. Maybe we need a spray bar to direct oil to the cam lobes
