New Greeves cylinders

[Normandale]

There are some brand new Greeves cylinders being made, and apparently they have turned out very well indeed!

[John-Boy]

Any idea how many ports they have?

[Normandale]

These are direct copys of the stock Greeves part, and will be available for sale in due course. Someone has had some 8 port cylinders made for trials applications though, but I doubt very much whether they will ever be on general sale.

Hi - note that under AMCA rules (and also therefore Greeves Championship) - we arn't allowed to change the port configuration (dimensions yes - although that is risky ).

On My 380 QUB - my exhaust port bridge cracked last year - and Simon Bateman (Nametab) - re-manufactured from modern cast iron - a new liner - back to original bore and port specification. cost about £150. He also has a batch of new 380 Pistons. (Stormer recommended them) CAst not forged - but good quality racing pistons and should be much more reliable than the Dykes ringed Hepolite originals.
Overall this rescued my barrel - and has improved the performance and reliability.

Alloy cylinders for 3T

I believe Simon Bateman is also manufacturing alloy cylinders for the Villiers 3T

At the risk of people thinking I am trying to drum up a bit of discount for my next purchase Simon is the man , he understands what is required to make our old 2strokes go.

Hi Stormer,
Don't think Simon understands the word discount - /i agree he is definately the man for our old 2-strokes.

He will soon be getting some forged racing pistons made up for 250's (70mm barrel) - suitable for 250 Griffon's - which will improve the Hepolite/Dykes ringed originals.
Cheers Kim
