That's quite a feat.

If that were me, cylinder #9 wouldn't fire on idle for no apparent reason ; )

Hi all, a guy turned up at the VJMC Rally a couple of years ago on this....

He's engineered 2 RD350LC engines together. Sounded pretty awesome!!

But doing the valves would be a never ending task. :evil:

It's interesting how he's done the crank, with two conrods side by side on the same big end bearing.

When Allan Millyard made his V12 Kawa from two Z1300s, he had a set of special "Y" rods made that had a secondary big end above the crank.

I bet the cam timing took a bit of head-scratching to work out :shock:
