Re: Anyone used this company?
Would certainly want a reprofiled cam shaft and new rockers
Re: Anyone used this company?
" The engine block cylinders are honed and only good/serviceable reclaimed pistons are fitted with new piston rings." So - it's NOT been 'fully reconditioned' . Bull Motif will sell you a FULLY reconditioned engine with guarantee for much the same (maybe less when the exchange is done?).....so why consider this......?
Re: Anyone used this company?
Aren't considering anything.Just asking if anyone had used these companies.Come to think of it I can't recall anyone on here having said they had bought one from Bull Motif and giving their opinion either so how do I know how good theirs are?Simply exploring my options on whether to get a more standard cam on my1275 or replacing the whole engine with something more suitable.

If there is no wear in the bore then why bore it out when a hone is sufficient!bmcecosse wrote:" The engine block cylinders are honed and only good/serviceable reclaimed pistons are fitted with new piston rings."

Re: Anyone used this company?
Well - I would not buy an engine as 'fully reconditioned' unless it had been bored and new pistons fitted. Not heard any complaints about the Bully engines - nor do I have any experience of them - I simply note that the price for this 'partly reconditioned' engine seems high compared to another source. I've got a box of cams tysonn - if you can wait till next week I'll look them out and check what they are - they are 'trapped in' by my TR7 - which should come out and go on the road next week. If there is a good 'standard' one there you can have it for the post cost!
Re: Anyone used this company?
Bless you Roy!If you have one it'll work out a lot cheaper than swapping the engine.You can have this(whatever it turns out to be)if its any use to you.

Re: Anyone used this company?
I haven't forgotten about you ! Found 5 cams today - one so badly worn it went straight in the bin..... Two of them are unmarked 3/8" lobe pin drive cams - I'm guessing from 948 engines, and the other two are 1/2" lobe unmarked spider drive cams (and they are in perfectly good useable condition). So - they MUST have come from 1275 engines, since the spider was not used on smaller engines. After a huuuge search... I found 4 spider drive oil pumps - and a SPIDER ! I knew I had it somewhere...these are 'not common' now! Bonus was that it made me have a bit of a garage clear-out, so the time was well spent! The unmarked 1/2" spider cam was used in many versions of the 1275 engine - including Spridgets / Cooper S and 12H Marinas. It will suit you fine! In later engines they used the same basic timings and lift - with the cam timed in 4 degrees advanced - you could do that if you wished. They must have thought there was an advantage! So you need to decide if you want both cams and how many oil pumps - and of course the all important spider. I haven't opened up the oil pumps yet - they all turn easily and one of them I had gone to the trouble of packing it with grease - so I must have thought it (at least) was a good-un. None of it is any use to me -you are welcome to them all -although not much point in the 3/8" lobe cams. Let me know - and I will get a cost for sending them via 'Parcels to Go'.

If Tysonn does not need both 1/2" 1275 cam shafts, I would be grateful for one, please, if still available.

Re: Anyone used this company?
I wanted it for my 1275 Midget engine 12cc DH15908.
Mine had a small chip in it, couldn't find a reasonable spare at the time.
