Yes thats the cam some of them didnt have a number on the end just a large centre drilled hole. These cams always seem to be worn badly so you are very lucky with what you have. Well done.

Bikermike came  down to see me today and we managed to clear up a few questions. I'm glad I held onto the bike now as 12 months ago I did advertise it but got little response.

We sorted out the mudguards etc so at least I know whats right and whats not.

Hi,
A really interesting thread!
I've just got hold of some ZA7 cases (long stroke) with reground crank (needs dressing), new shells and bush (but no rods) however, now undecided whether to attempt to build a whole engine given some of the 'issues' getting parts (ie. camshaft). But If I do at least there's lots of knowledge out there! Keep you posted.

There seems to be plenty of SH longstroke engine stuff on ebay from time to time.

Please let me know how you are getting on with it and if you have any spares left over going begging.
