You can use it to find members along the route from FL to GEZ. Try contacting some of them to see if they would like to ride with you. It would be great to finally meet you!

I would be a little surprised if those were put there by Rotax in Austria! I will ask someone with Rotax experience and get back here. I know old american V8's mostly. The Rotax service manual's & parts catalogue show very conventional lifters without those Ford part numbers, actually when I looked that Johnson HT-900 I get a aftermarket part. Made in USA , they claim to be best in the world. Looks like that one lifter was not always rotating, on most flat tappet engines the cam is taper ground, this should be visible in the cam wear pattern. When the lifter rides the lobe it will rotate if all is well. The taper will wear off on the nose of the lobe first but it will still rotate unless the whole lobe is worn down. Pull the valve covers on a engine and run it, if some push rods are not rotating or some are rotating slower, you have a problem! Some engine's offset the lifter from the cam lobe instead of taper grinding the cam, they still rotate. If the lifter had corrosion or deposits on the lifter body it would be hard to remove, and may not rotate. Was reading about a guy in Australia who sent his 912 cam to Melbourne for regrind after 1800 hrs. and re-nitride (surface harden) and bought new lifters. Your cam should be good with only 100 hrs. though.

The wear pattern upon the camshaft is indicating correctly on all lobes. So I am placing the root of all issue upon the tight bore clearance only and not the lifter unit itself. Need to have a custom sized ream ground up to reset the bore clearances. There is one guy here in Australia currently building a big bore 912ULS on a TBO'd 2015 production engine base. The camshaft has been reground and nitrated and Johnson HT-900 lifters fitted. Good service dodge on removing valve caps to see if pushrods spin. It will be messy though :) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=511404#511404 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:58:05 PM PST US From: William Daniell Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: KGEZ Thanks jim William Daniell +1 786 878 0246 On Mon, Sep 4, 2023, 18:44 h&jeuropa wrote: > > Will, > > On the Europa Club website, there is a member map.
