Got one more video for you. This time Tommy gives us an overview of how to degree the cams on our 2008 Hayabusa motor. 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa Motor Rebuild Part 5 - Cam timing

Thought I would post our engine build video here. This is part 4 of a 6 part series you can see at Tombo Racing Motorcycle Engines

It is amazing while filming these things, Tommy never has to look up torque values or cam timing info – he just knows that stuff off the top of his head on the ‘Busa motors. The guy is a walking encyclopedia on Hayabusa’s – as well as ZX-14′s, ZX-10′s and GSXR-1000′s.

You are right. Tommy makes it look really easy. He has forgotten more stuff than most of us know. He used to hang out at American Honda Racing when he was 8-9-10 years old, cleaning their shop and watching what they did. He worked for Byron Hines when Tommy was a teenager, learning tricks of...

Hopefully by late next week we will have the fourth segment done where Tommy puts the head together and degrees the valves.
