megacycle cam

[Terryp]

Hi, i am upgrading the cam in my 350 Narrow Case race bike to a Megacycle 564-x9. I noticed there is not a hole through the center of the camshaft out into the top bevel gears like the original camshafts, will this create lubrication issues for the top bevel gears ? I am guessing any lubrication will now come through the camshaft bearing. I have checked coil bind clearances and these are all good. The only problem is i will have to run without a valve seal, do you think this will be alright?

No problem with the oil supply, Ducati did away with the oil hole on later bevel twins, to increase the supply to the rockers (which really need it!). As for the oil seal, you could have a recess machined inside the guide and fit an 'o' ring, as on desmo bevel twins.
