shes a bit noisy on start up, I'm changing the cam to a new grind next week, do i chase a single or double row from a 3k and was a double row standard in 5k?, if not theres no chance of buying new gears just find a motor with the doubles and the 5k chain will fit to the hydraulic cam with no modification?, looking forward to gettnig everything going sweet, please pm me if you have a half decent 5k and let me know what u've done and how it goes, I'm sitting back a few days away from swapping engines, and while shes out i know i should change the cam, quick head reco and go from there no 1. piston 185psi, no.2/3/4 piston 180psi compression ratio, bottom end good. whats the 5k gurus think?

i got new timing gears in my timing chain kit for a 4k? go twin row!

 

compression seams fine

.....I will let you know what a half decent 5k goes like in a couple of days :lolcry: :lolcry: ......(sorry just really excited for upcoming 5k action)

my old 5k with 130psi of compression went like stink! even with a BHG :lolcry:

f@$k yeah, well its gonna be cam out, head out, butvery nervous about standard carb for roadworthy, dunno if i should bolt my twin su's on or not, should be a bit of fun. all f@$kin out or nothing right, did the 5k ever come out double row, and can anyone confirm the distance between cam and crank sprokets are the same??, whats a good hydraulic g4rind, ill talk to tighe on monday when i drop it off

slap the std carby on for the roady!

From memory, 5k's only had single row timing chains. That said, I never had an issue with it over the years I ran 5k's.

sweet no worrys, ive just got a light rattle on start up hence the need to find a chain, but if you've run stock for years, don't fix whats not broke, ill chase a single row chain with slight grind and go from there cheers

A 4k double row timing kit will fit on a 5k.

I was qouted $118 for a roll master double row timing chain kit.

I payed $130 for a Powerdrive 4k timing kit. They didn't believe me when I ordered it and told them what it was going on. They had to look it up and confirm it for themselves. Beenleigh Bearings WILL NOT sell you the wrong stuff. That's why I go there.
