I don't make a big thing out of my name being misspelled anymore, I used to be really picky about it. Now, so long as official documents get it right I'm happy.



Oh well.

Bill.

Status: offline 		William-or Bill, or Will, or Mr. Robison, when you speak of "mushroomed" cams, are you speaking of a shape that increases the length of time the valve is fully open? I know this is somewhat different from duration, which I mean to be the time the valve begins to open until it is fully closed again. Does this improve scavenging as much as it does total airflow?
When I was roadracing (motorcycles) back in the '80's, we messed with cam grinds, overlap, and modifying the total timing (valve) to change the power band to suit track conditions.

When is Saito gonna get with the plan and come out with a 4- or 5- valve design? The top end would be pretty busy at 11 grand, wouldn't it?

Not mushroomed cams, but the tappets. The increased diameter of the cam end of the tappet will increase the valve duration and overlap with no other change. In the first attached picture the plain tappets are in the left column, what I call "Mushroomed" tappets are on the right.

This composite shows all the external differences between the old style big block engines and the "High Cam" versions. Also shown is the original "S" cam, just used for a short time in the original FA-120S. If you see a 120 with a curved intake pipe instead of the cast pipe it's an "S" model, the hot one. The later "S" 120s had the cast pipe and a normal cam, but still with the wide headed tappets so they were still a bit hotter than the early ones.

Second picture is the hot "S" 120. See the intake? Third picture is the standard 120 cylinder next to the "S", both shown with the intake pipe. Finally, current production FA-120S showing the return to the cast intake.

Bill.

Just found another picture of the hot version of the FA-120S, shows the intake pipe better, and you can see the muffler that came with it. Second picture is the outlet end of the muffler. Exhaust restriction? What's that?

Haw.
