KHK Fkywheels into XLCH
Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:25 pm
Hi Guys,
Forgive me if ths has been covered before - I can't find the info I need.
I have picked up a 1958 XLCH engine. The bike was bored and stroked many years ago. It came with Dytch cylinders and KHK flywheels. (minus minus cams as well - someone knew what they were doing)
I know the KH and XL shafts are different as well as the rods. But I don't know what the difference is between the KH shafts and the XL ones. I'm hoping it's just the taper. It probably needs a complete rebuild but the pin is the same. What I'm hoping here is that stock XL parts can be used to rebuild these wheels.
Anyone have any experience with these wheels in XL cases ?
I did consider putting everything back to stock - but only for a micro second. I won't race the engine and will do my level best to preserve what I have left. i only have the major engine parts - not the complete bike. So it will never be a 100% stock 58 XLCH. As a racing man myself I do believe that "as raced: can be just as nice to own as factory stock.
