Hi Folks its Claire

I thought I'd join as I have a ZXR400L track bike that I hope to be racing at the end of this season :excited

Anyway, at the mo, I'm putting the cams back in, as the nobber that built (or re-built) the engine managed to (somehow!) fracture the cam cap and oil feed! He thought it would be a good idea to lock wire the parts together :wanker This from a Marshall at Donnington Park, imagine the catastrophe waiting to happen :smt010

So I have had the parts welded by a brilliant ali welder and it's going back together tonight. I can then shim her up. However to only other problem I have is finding a pattern gasket set from somewhere???
I've tried Wemoto and Z Power, but no-one seems to do them, anyone got any clues as to where I might purchase a set????????

Cheers
V Monkey

welcome claire, hope you enjoy the site.

As Baz said, gaskets are probably only available from a dealer, they are also in the region of 20 quid so wouldnt bother trying to find a cheap pattern part if i was you and go for genuine :)

Ta for the info on the gaskets, I'll have a look cheers.
Will also take a mooch at the racers section biggrin

I've got a couple of pics, but I can't attach them as the files are around 2.2mb, any ideas on how to reduce them to suit?? :smt013

Cheers

Just found out about image shack, here is a pic of my bike. It looks a lot better in the pic than it does up close :smt002
