Reply to "Anand’s Faux Cam Spyder engine by Pat @ CB"

Brian's engine has a CB 2242 cam and 1.25:1 rockers. Anand's has a 2292(FK-10) with 1.4:1. Other than compression ratio and cam, the engines are identical internally. Externally, Anand's has Dell 45 vs. Brian's 44 IDF, and of course exhaust. Brian has 1 5/8" from A-1 I believe. I'm not aware of Anand's exhaust specs.

I know this because Brian came to me and asked for my help building his CB engine kit. He now knows about measuring everything, gapping rings, measuring deck height, shimming cylinders, valve geometry, cutting pushrods, shimming rockers, case assembly, and breaking in lifters. Plus cleaning the case and running a tap through all the threaded holes. It was fun, ummmm, well, at least it's done and hasn't blown up. At least 40 hours of time was spent by me.
