Q on measuring valve clearance
#21
also, just because it's at "T" doesn't mean it's at TDC...you have to stand up and visually inspect it and sometimes takes a few rotations to be be at TDC...
#23
Good info on the T location and where TDC actually is located.
Spun the crank a few times and watched the lobe alignment themselves. The T is actually just a tiny smidge before the beginning of the notch - but my measured clearances remain the same.
Can anyone verify this for me as the correct shim kit:
Hot Cams 7.48mm Complete Valve Shim Kit HCSHIM01
Thanks all.

This remanded the same?

Thats the right kit, $80 shipped from the U.S and only used 1 shim.

Just to close the loop
Have the 330 kit installed and had a few rides. Valves adjusted as well.
Great little performance upgrade. Pulls better everywhere and now has a kick between 5500 and 8000 RPM. Did require a main jet change from DJ128 to DJ 132 to supply enough gas after 7500 RPM.
Thanks to everyone for their insights and advice.

I experienced a substantial power boost with the extra cc, however this may also be due to the Webcams that I did at the same time.

Other upgrades have included a full Muzzy exhaust, BB block off plate, air box lid removed and an aftermarket air filter - and of course the DynoJet Stage 2 with a switch to the 132 main jet. Otherwise the carb settings are fine.
