NOTE
• The standard inlet cam is 9.25 mm max lift and 258.50oduration. The Race Kit
inlet cam is 9.25 mm max lift and 268.74oduration.
• The standard exhaust cam is 8.5 mm max lift and 246oduration. The Race Kit
exhaust cam is 8.5 mm max lift and 262.21oduration.
• The Race Kit valve spring must be used in conjunction with the standard
spring platforms and retainers. The fitted length of the race springs is the
same as the standard spring.
1. The Race Kit valve springs should be
assembled in the same manner as the
standard valve springs. Follow the
procedure detailed in section 3 of the
Daytona 675 service manual. Ensure
the springs are installed with the close
wound, colour coded end of the springs
facing downwards, towards the piston.
2. The Race Kit camshafts should be
assembled in the same manner as the
standard camshafts. Follow the
procedure detailed in section 3 of the
Daytona 675 service manual.
NOTE
• The inlet and exhaust sprockets
are identified as shown below.
1. Inlet sprocket, marked ‘N’
2. Exhaust sprocket, marked ‘E’
3. The Race Kit cam sprockets should be
mounted and secured to the camshafts
using the slotted holes in the sprocket.
The slotted holes allow adjustment of
the valve timing. The circular holes in
the sprockets are for Triumph service
tool T3880102 and should not be used
to mount the sprockets to the
camshafts.
NOTE
• Timing marks are included on the
race sprockets for guidance only.
Race engines will typically have
different depths skimmed off the
cylinder head and, therefore
require specific individual timing.
4. The camshafts should be timed using
cam degreeing equipment which
typically consists of a degree wheel,
pointer, dial indicator and piston stop.
Optimum cam timing will depend on the
exact specification of the engine, but a
recommended starting point is 106o
IMOP (Inlet Maximum Opening Point)
and 106.5oEMOP (Exhaust Maximum
Opening Point).
5. Always check the inlet and exhaust
piston to valve clearance for the timing
selected to use, before running the
engine. You must ensure both
clearances are adequate. As a guide,
the standard nominal piston to valve
clearance is 1.3 mm inlet & 1.5 mm
exhaust.
6. When the desired timing has been set
the new retaining screws provided
should be tightened to 15 Nm. Note, if
the screws are released for any reason,
apply ThreeBond 1305 to the threads
before re-tightening.
Caution
The Camshaft Sprocket Kit contains
specific sprockets for the inlet and
exhaust camshafts. It is important that
the correct sprocket is used for the inlet
and exhaust camshafts. If an exhaust
sprocket is fitted to an inlet camshaft, or
an inlet sprocket is fitted to an exhaust
camshaft in error, it will result in severe
engine damage.
