What cambelt and pulleys are people using?

I have just got myself and head and started clening it up today. What to get cracking get things together asap.

Thinking of doing away with the oil pump and using a remte pump or even dry sump with spray bars in the gearbox!!!

I know for a fact Jimster is using honda pulleys in his conversion. This was chosen for a number of reasons - but one reason was to show that it was very different from any other conversion :)

yea daves right, I use honda pulleys.

The only realy big source i know of is Motorworks in Holmsfirth (Last of the Summer Wine)

They are a bit like M&Ms, got stacks of stuff but charge you a small fortune, yet will take stuff of your hands for peanuts

i got my K1100LT from Sherlocks with cam's, cover, TB's, ECU, injectors, nuts, bolts, airbox etc etc for £320 delivered to my door. £30 cheaper than motorworks before the postage.

Got more than i needed but they just took it straight off the bike as was.

I thought they were honda pulleys, I was gonna get my head from sherlocks but I bought the one one on ebay with the burnt out valve, cost me £155 and £30 for new valve.

What valves is everyone using? are the standard valves up to the job on a turbo motor?

I don't think you will have any problems with the valves in the std head - the word bomb proof is fully applicable, these heads are built like BMW M motors. Have a read of the RB racing site in the states - crazy power from std BMW lumps in turbo guise. The only other valves available for the heads are of the dodo variety - ie they don't exist! I searched very hard at the beginning of the year - the only option is custom ones.

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Good thats what I was hoping to hear.

I have Toyota 4age pulleys on mine, only because they had a reasonable offset thus requiring a shorter and lighter adapter. And they were sitting next to me when i started looking at suitable pulleys. Also mine have a round tooth profile opposed to blocks like most older cars. And i paid about £200 for head, cam cover and t/b's from James Sherlock about a year ago.
