996 engine in bits - what whould you do/check? My engine is going to be reduced to a little pile of components shortly. It's not something I plan on doing too often so I though I would ask what peeps would take the opportunity to check, mod, change. At the moment the plan is for it to get a balance, Ti rods, hi comp pistons, squish set, new cams. Anything else? TIA, Rob |
Check all the internal parts over with a tooth comb. Gearbox parts. gears, slectors etc. Check all the bearings and replace the mains as a matter of course. Oh and sell a kidney to put it all back together again :sing: |
what sort of gains are you looking at with a set of high comp pistons on a 996 bip engine? Is it the case of only getting real gains with set of hotter cams? DC:burn: |

It'll be a combination of all the bits working together. I expect the comp' would help a little in anycase. Rgds, Rob |
What about water pumps, generator, seals etc? |
I'd do all the oil seals as a matter of course. The mechanical seal behind the water pump is worth doing to, but that's not a killa to change should it fail anyhow. There are a few security "tab" washers that'll need replacing as well as some circlips. Nothing much to change on the generator except use a new nut. Worth checking the condition of the bearings in the sprag clutch though. |

Your doing the same as me mate, Just got to split the cases now and check the crank and gearbox etc. I was then thinking of getting the crank balanced and working from there.:devil: Was thinking about High comp pistons etc but my pistons are in super condition along with the bore etc. So only really wanted to add some new piston rings. I intend to set it all back up as good as I can get it, such as the cam timing and the squish etc. Was also thinking of getting some of those STM adjustable cam/belt wheels. Have to see if its worth it though! DC.;) |
Yep. I have the STM pulleys in the hallway, ready to go off tomorrow. I've been collecting bits when they came up, now it's time to use them |
Ti Rods...:o You selling the missus Rob..??!! Nat |

Where did you get the STM pulleys from? Only I see a link on Nellys site leading to their site. I will be in touch with that Nelly soon I hope. I think I can feel a shoping list for Ducati bits coming on!!;) DC:roll: |
