53 cc chambers, heads are 42 x 37, came from Rod Penrose. flow for 190 - 200hp.
dual springs.
Rod had said the heads were done in the states by a fella called tims?
compression ratio somewhere from 8.2 to 8.5. (hopefully)

i had a berg cam, GB-310, in a 1916, very nice cam, running similar heads and it was very driveable on the street. also used it for a hillclimb. its a good allround cam from the website

GB-309
Engle V26
Both for ratio rockers

If you are going to use a GB-310 or engle K8, get the CB version.
