Mood: is it cos i is a bricklayer

its a bit of a wierd coincidence isnt it- i maybe caught mine before too much damage was done although the woodruff key isnt a snug fit in the cam - i'll get a new one and see what the fit is like before i go stripping the whole lot out
i was thinking of maybe taking cams to an engineer shop and seeing if it was possible to get the key way and pulley slot machined wider and fit a wider woodruff key- i.e to take out the wear-- maybe one of the more technical afficiniado's on the board maybe be able to advise-- either that or get the lot welded together

there are race cams, Ergal pulleys and off set keys available from Ducati Performance but they probably cost an arm and both legs- i dont think they give any more power just smooth out the torque thru out the rev range

then there are some adjustable pulleys available from http://www.veetwo.net/index.asp
i like they're hexagonal pulley nuts! better than the slotted thing as standard
