1300 to 1640?
just wondering how much power gain you would see between a standard 1300 and a 1640?

not that much power, I think it's all about the torque - esp with the 1300 gearbox, it'll be less of a chore to drive in traffic..

well she is much better than before..tho coz of the second hand carb she has a slight flatspot off idle...
initially i wanted to put twin kadrons on it but the mechanic told me it would just be too much for the engine and it wouldn't run properly.... ??
anyway... the work she has had done is...
new heads
new push rod tubes
new inlet manifold
new carb (did not arrive in time so have a second hand one for the running in stage)
honed barrels with new piston rings
new exhaust
lightened flywheel 200mm
new clutch 200mm
so just running it in till the first service.

Kadrons are fine on a 1600.
Lightened flywheel on a standard 1640 is not really a good idea, the motor needs the weight of the flywheel to maintain torque.:thumb
