Have heard they are worth changing too..
Do you think the 110 cam would be enough for a 1914,i need low and mid range torgue in the bus??

110 with standard size valves would be lovely for a 1914 in your bus, I reckon.

Have your new heads got stainless valves ? They're a lot slimmer than a standard valve. Stainless valves and a tickle with the dremmel to *that* corner in the exhaust ports will help free things up a fair bit

No they're not stainless mate but i did think about changing them..
Is it a straight swap for stainless and where from mate??

Last time I bought any stainless valves they were in a bugpack blister pack from kingfisher kustoms. They were a bit more money than from somewhere else but were 'manley' ones

they took a fair while lapping them in, but they were bang on after that. I used bugpack HD single springs and bugpack collets - fitted fine and seemed good to me.

I've got a new set of stock heads here that I keep threatening to port - we should have a photographic port-off.

That ^ sounds even more than Danny & Chris on Saturday night

I'll be naked while porting, and practising circular breathing. It's a ritual.

The only parts of my body visible in the photographs will be hands and face

Yeah you gotta go for the 1914.

We got one in our bus, It's not race tuned or anything, but built for daily driving, it's got a 110 cam, we had problems with the original valve springs, so swapped 'em for the bugback hd's, which are much better, and it seems to be going pretty well now.

It's no rocket, and I seem to be running out of a tiny bit of steam at 50 at the mo', so could probably do with a bit of tinkering to set it all up proper now it's run in.

But wind it up nicely and it'll suprise a few peeps at the lights, and it sat on the motorway all the way back from cornwall at a comfy 70. (...and thats in a fully kitted out camper, rammed to the pop-top wiv camping gear and luggage!)

My 1641 was quite quick seeing as it is in a bus..20.01 on the strip and pissed all over 2 bays with the same engine..
Accelerated well and went off the clock no probs on motorways.
Cant wait to see what a 1914 will do,full flowed with my new exhaust
