I am working on replacing the cam in the Spit. That terrible noise from the
engine turned out to be caused by the fact that the centering boss broke off of
the nose of the cam. Each rotation of the cam yielded 4 loud clunks as the cam
gear shifted around on its fastening bolts. The bolts were still tight and the
retaining tans in place.
I have broken some weird stuff over time, but that was a first for me.

Greg and FOT,
Next weekend we go to the dyno in Ames, followed by the Des Moines Concours.
They established a Race Car Division for this year.
The weekend after is the Elkhart Lake Vintage Fall Festival at Road America and
reportedly there will be several Triumphs there. Bob Tullius is guest of honor.
October is the Looooong Race at Blackhawk Farms. BHF is a track that has grown
up over the years and represents the best of Grassroots Racing. Great
infrastructure, driver and fan friendly, lower cost racing. Frankly, a great
candidate for a FOT Gathering.
Have fun in Texas.
