Very curious to see your next video and hear what you think. I have about 3500kms with the TEC cam in my Himi and I love the difference! It's snappier, gives more when you need that little extra and the cam has added more smiles per mile than expected.
The whole point of breaking in is to the make sure the moving engine parts settles in properly. Even tho all the parts inside the engine are designed and made with such tight tolerances there might be some mishap or slight uneven surfaces so during the initial first kilometres you shouldn't rev the engine and keep it slightly above the minimum running RPM to let the parts to grind against each other and naturally flatten out all the unevenness so during this period you should never rev the engine up to much because it defeats the whole point and can lead to those uneven surfaces causing minor scratches on the across surface, which will stay there till the end of that engines lifetime
Thank you for another lovely video, Ben. Is it feasible to fit the TEC camshaft on a BS3 Carburettor Himmy with 50k kms on the ODO? What are some of the things to look out for while doing such mods on older bikes which have seen some tough miles?
Hi Ben. Did you put in new valve guide while changing your valve? I tried to source valve guide but RE don't sell for Himalayan. Any idea on this as the guide they currently use for leth work is the ones from Classic series which keep making a racket after head work is done!
Thanks Ben for your quick reply. What about people who have to work on their valve guide but don't want to shellout on a complete new cylinder head as advised by RE workshop. And thanks on the FuelX info @@ONTWOWHEELSBEN
I agree on a horrible sounding engine 😂 unfortunately mine is also making some louder noise when hot Still dont know what it is i hope it goes away with an oil change...
