Re: Pigsty Racing

Hi all.

Any comments on using Pigsty racing? - rebore, re-profiled cam and head skim to increase compression ratio.


Thanks John


Frankly a head skim and rebore is standard fare for just about any decent engine shop. My local people in Suffolk rarely take more than 2 or 3 days.
Camshafts are harder and Pigsty or Paul Bonewell have good experience. Bonewell turned my cam around within a week.

Re: Pigsty Racing

I have recently fitted the new engine to the 'Ulster'. It has a John Barlow splash fed crank, Dave Dye Ricardo head and a Pigsty 'trials' cam. It runs well and is remarkably torquey, pulling away in top from a crawl. The cam has more lift than I expected and makes the valve gear slightly noisy but it certainly does the business.
