Hi, just preparing a 2003 ST170 engine to go into my Tiger CAT E1 - from a Pinto. I have some basic questions, so please if you have other threads you can point me at, please do.... 1) I am not running TB's yet (cost issue !) but will be using my bike carbs from my Pinto set up - which run very well 2) I need to do away with the VVT set up and this brings some issues - having removed the drive pulley from the inlet camshaft, it looks as though that there is a spacing issue for a new vernier pulley ie. the VVT pulley has all the internal gubbins which make it advance / retard and as such stands off from the end of the camshaft by a fair distance. If I am to reuse the existing camshafts, then I need some sort of spacer to get the pulley alignment and correct sealing. Does anyone have any info on how this can be achieved ? Or 3) am I being daft and must junk the existing cams and install a new pair if I am doing away with the VVT ? 4) If this is the case, will any Zetec cams do e.g. Piper 285's as I note that the end journal diameters are different for the two cams in the ST170 head - is this the same for all Zetecs ??? I am sure this has been covered before - but some giudance would be great and thanks in advance ! This is where I am up to at the moment... loads to do.
