r1 head gasket help
jlayton - 6/7/15 at 07:03 PM

After someone who can do a head gasket on a r1 5pw, engines out the car. Its a 1.3mm cometic head gasket so will also need the same person to be able to fit and dial in the cam sprockets for me. Don't mind paying. im just struggling for someone to do it when they find out its for a r1 turbo. Hope someone can help local
Thanks in advance

It's not actually a terribly difficult job to do, just take your time.... OK, pun intended...
timing 107/104?

I guess the usual suspects for FI would be happy to help - BigCC/MB/Holeshot/A.N.Other?

To be honnest I really don't know what degree of timing I need . Is 107/104 where it needs to be

Please stick to the 'usual' 105. I haven't run an FI set up on an R1, my experience is limited to the GSX-R family.
Playing with the overlap did change the compromise 'curve' of engine, turbine and exhaust temperatures.
