Has anyone seen a list identifying the valve timing for the different 16v camshafts.
To my knowledge (please correct me) There are 4 variations:
-K1/16VRS,
-K1100LT and RS(same),
-K1200LT,
-K1200RS
I'm picking up a 1200 engine that needs cams. I have some spare 1100 camshafts, but I also have the option of pulling the cams from the 16v K100RS.
The 1200 is intended for the sidecar so torque is more important than max power. It hardly ever gets run over 5000rpm and to be honest, even that's rare.
