Freebird Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hi Steve matechaeck out this site, it has head thicknesses for all models.http://www.triumphclub.co.nz/technical.htmlI got the engine home and lifted it out of the boot with a neighbour. The head is coming on well, not started on the bottom end yet, I need a hoist to lift it onto my shiny new engine stand.CheersGlen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
