I am doing OK, ... I hope that YOU are doing OK, too.

 

That's awesome work, did you design that yourself?
If all that metal grinding is going on, maybe I'll start by checking my magnetic drain plug for any unusual amount of metal. I might have a look at the assembly and see if it's rusting like in the pictures too.

 

Yves. I'm NOT smart enough to design something like this. Two friends of mine designed this and I am the BETA tester of the concept.

 

Official bad *** comp modifying thread! Thanks. My SE unit has been flawless for 2 years and 40+k but if it goes south I'm all over this mod! Thanks.

 

Let us know how it works for you. This could be an interesting winter project.

I wonder if there are any other alternatives to the SE comp out there.

 

None that we know of Yves. Ummm there is now a BDL comp for 07 up, but I think I will pass on a screw comp. With a 120r, I would imagine it would screw tight and then stay solid forever.

Thanks Soft.

 

Yes the best alternative it to go to belt drive at 1500-3000$

 

I went the more traditional modifications on my comp and now have about 30,000 miles on it with no problems. The flat faces of the comp sprocket almost make a seal with the opposing faces keeping oil out of where it needs to be. I used a Dremel and put a radial slot the the base of each spoke on the smooth face on both sides of the sprocket and connected one slot on the front with the next adjacent slot on the back with spiral groves. There are three spiral groves in the inside of the sprocket journal connecting each slot on the front side with the next adjacent slot on the back side. That seems to minimize or eliminate the fretting on the sprocket hub.

Where the cam and sprocket spokes interface I also made radial grooves on each spoke starting from slightly inside (nearer the hub) to about HALF WAY through the wear area on the spoke. Hopefully that allows oil to sling centrifugally into the interface but NOT out the other side keeping the oil where it needs to be.

This is purely "shade tree engineering" and done free hand and I have only my own experience to pass on. So far so good. This required no sheet metal fabrication, brazing or machining the high tips off the cam piece. With the spring pack these comps have, I doubt that the reduced cam depth would ever cause a slippage problem. I hope it doesn't take the MOCO another 8 to 10 years to work out a professionally engineered fix. Compared to the previous, weaker comp this one really does the job. It just wasn't quite "finished" by the time it was put on the market.

 

That's interesting, would you happen to have any pictures of your work?

Thanks
