Posted: 12:44 - 20 Aug 2017 Post subject: Honda cam bearing modification |
|
|
I never noticed this before but have a look at this picture:

Is that a little hole in the bearing for the oil to go through? If so then this would be a fantastic replacement for those self destructing Honda style cam bearings. On the Honda style engines the bearings line up by way of a little sticky-out bit that sits in a special groove and oil is pumped through the hole in it. If these needle roller bearings also have a hole then all is well.
I'd never noticed the hole before because the other pictures of these bearings I'd seen didn't show it but as I was about to order some I saw it. This could be a good thing. |

Christ alive,
my 1.9 turbo diesel doesn't even have bearings on the cam .
Now I'm thinking about how to machine it back and get some of those in there |

Well lingeringstin..., if you keep fixing your vehicle and updating it, it'll live forever, unless the rust eats it away. Old cars had lower standards to fuel and oil. Old 4 strokes, requiring lead, may be modified to run on unleaded petrol. I mean, you wouldn't fitting ABS (not impossible), TCS, ESP, airbags and other toys, obviously.
Also, not sure about the outside world, but in the Land of Beer the law and regulation never acts retrospectively (Criminal law is an exception). So you may still legaly drive it, the MOT reuirements are still the same... ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I'd guess it's an oilway.
However , it might be a good idea to make sure it's not a blind hole for a locating peg.

Almost the case in the UK. Retrospective changes are rare, but an example is rear view mirrors on cars.
But nowadays they are coming up with all sorts of taxes on older vehicles (eg, congestion charges) which are in effect retrospective. |
Do you have the ''historic vehicle'' status in the UK? That sure could get around the tax issue. In the Land of Beer, if you own a 30+years old vehicle, you may register it as a ''historic vehicle'', which gives you quite a few beneffits over the standard registration. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
