Greetings folks. Does anyone have or know where i can get one #3 exhaust cam fitting/holder? (circled in red below). The engine is a MC14E (on an MC19). Shipment to Nairobi Also, what is the part number for this piece anyway?
Those are fit per-head, so no part # available. If you do manage to find one, the odds of the bore matching your head are pretty freaking slim. I'd be looking for a shop like millenium technologies in your neck of the woods, or a whole new head instead of hoping that you'll find that one piece that matches.
@thebeefsalad I've invested waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much in my cyl head...(valve & seat works, port polish, fixing plenty messed up threads...and then some!). At this stage having the head already in and bolted down to spec, i would much rather invest in learning and/or finding and reading every peer reviewed whitepaper on the subject about the pros and cons of matching that missing link to my existing setup. If i fail to get one in this forum, ill consider experimenting with casting and machining one here (in my neck of the woods)
If you end up finding one.. and it appears that they are machine matched to the head you will find dimensionally it will be OK but.... it is the final position with the dowels that will cause issues. You could on that lone item remove the dowels and allow that cam cap to "float and self position". It isnt ideal and if you have done as much to the head as you say it would be a potential issue with high performance. Having said that... later Yamaha engines dont use dowels for their cam caps.... As long as the bearing surface is good and the cam turns freely when torqued down to the correct settings than you should be fine.
Sorry I don't have one, only a spare camshaft. Making one would not be that difficult but would require a lot of hand fitting to get correct clearance.
Thanks for checking @Murdo and thank you all for the pointers. I think ill look into casting one and maybe share results
