  2. Not a clue dude. :innocent:

    Applying heat to remove a pin from the head seems quite reasonable though. :thinkingface:

  3. Yes, skimming the head will tighten gear driven cam gears.
    Different head gaskets, not sure.
    Adjustment in the set up of the gears, not sure. But on the RC30 they shim the cam
    carriers after skimming. But the RC45 didn't have cam carriers.
    They will know I would imaging, it's not uncommon in bike engines...

  4. If they skim like this, they should be OK. o_O

  11. Nah. I just think both of them were recovering after selling a kidney each in order to raise money for parts

  13. £800 for a gasket????!!?!?!?!?!? :eek::worried:
     
    #133 Zhed46, Feb 19, 2020
  14. Presumably, as they skimmed the heads, the head gasket would have to be thicker than when new, no?

  15. Would have used a metal shim style gasket that goes between the case and barrel which is how you set "squish". Andy

  16. That’s what I thought but they made no mention of it just mentioned the cost of the Ducati gasket. Presumably the shin style gasket has to have the same profile for oil & airways and I bet they don’t come off the shelf for Desmo either.

  20. So they're observing social distancing by not staying 2 metres apart and shaking hands. Am I missing something?
