Compression Releases in the cam?

GoofyTexan · 11-19-2010, 01:46 AM

What do ya'll think? I'm tired of replacing the starter clutch in my 2003 Pitbull (No compression releases). I have the 1.7 starter...

Mid 03 BD ran heads that were already machined for the electronric releases. Reach down through the center of your front rockerbox. If you feel a head of a bolt, your can install electric releases without to much of a hassle. The releases are about $295.00

Wiring the electronic CRs is a complete pain in the ass. I would suggest just taking the heads off the bike and having them machined out. OR go to Drag, Mid West or CCI and buy the Compression Release install tool and actually do it while the heads are still on the bike. Just use a vaccum and an airblower to make sure no aluminum shavings creep past the baby hole.
