triumph
« on: October 17, 2015, 10:16:03 AM »
hi, does anyone know how tight a fit of the bottom of the barrel sleeves in the crankcase mouths of a pre unit triumph bonnerville. I want to fit a big bore 750 barrels but will have to open the crank case mouths slighty.

I'm afraid it's not much of an answer, but I'd suggest joining up and posting the same question here:

http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=4&page=1

That way, you'll be pitching it to a Triumph-only audience, including folks who race and sprint (and so are likely to have done big-bore mods), and those who worked as Triumph dealers in the 60s and 70s.

By the same token, they'll also tell you if it's not a good idea, or likely to cause problems.

They just need to drop in, not tight push in
