Hi John,Gotta say... I was only asking for advice and Spanners & others have given me loads of good advice along this long & weary road which started off with Frame rust on my 91 ultra.
I am at a stage where I have put a lot of hard earned dough into this part rebuild and am now on a very,very tight budget so any advice from the forum is very much appreciated. Advice is given free and I havent been told yet by anyone that their advice has to be adhered to .
I dont know what the cost of taking the parts (cams) to be checked by an engineer would cost here in UK and it is not that easy to find an engineer that would undertake the work. Perhaps you could indicate what the cost would normally be your side of the pond.
iMy old Ultra would now be in the scrapheap if it wasnt for all the excellent advice (+ encouragement) I have received on this forum. regards,Bungo

Should be able to get that gear swapped to new cam for ten Bensons and a look at a dirty book. Most car repair places have them
