Hi-Compression Head
Stipe Cam
Sorry it's small and hard to see. Maybe someone can enlarge it.
I've tried beads. In my opinion the beads are worthless. I can run my roadster 50-55mph on 21" tires with no shakes, shimmies or vibrations...smoooth (three o's). No weights or beads just tires and tubes. Tires wear even, no flat spots, cupping or anything like that. I keep them rotated...

I lost reverse on my 1914 runabout. I adjusted all I could but still no joy. Band replacement is in order. I have the Hogshead ready to come out but the Warford Transmission prevents me from getting it out. If I could drop the rear end and let it slide back about an inch I believe I could...
