Yea the engine is going to be used for track days and possibly will be raced too..
The bike came with spare crankcase (drilled) and cylinder's to build a race engine .

You want to be slotting the cam gears and dialing the cams in by degree then. A word of warning though,,,,, I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and know my way around an engine very well. When it comes to 3tjs I always let my tuner build the engines, from experience it works out cheaper in the long run. I would also avoid building a race engine with big Bhp from a crank that did not match the cases from the factory.

Just my opinion,,,,,,,

No will be getting the engine built for me KIYOSHI .
Not going for a big BHP bike the lad that might be racing it finished second in the Irish road race championship this year on a completely bog standard one,so no need to go for big BHP engines that wont be reliable (To finish first first you have to finish,) ..

Reliable BIG bhp?? Depends who builds them!!! Leo Aldersley is THE man for the job and also moving ti Ireland if that's any help for you.

Cheers for that KIYOSHI..
Have you any idea when Leo is going to set up in Ireland ,
Was told to send it to NM alright but if Leo is moving here that makes it alot easier as would save over 150 quid on postage/courier ..
