Intek 21hp v-twin build questions..
« on: April 01, 2017, 01:21:26 am »
I have a 21hp Intek v-twin 407777. I want to build it to have some reasonable horsepower. I'm actually a small engine mechanic at an industrial mower, fork truck, generators and many other things. I've never done a performance build though. So far I have the motor tore down, removed the governor. I got a complete gasket and bolt set and 2 new coils. From reading on here I believe you guys are saying mill .085 off the heads. I know I need valve springs but I am not sure if I've found the right ones or not.  https://eccarburetors.com/estore/260-ec-valve-spring-set.html?category_id=276 these are the ones I think I need. I need to know which keepers and locks I need to go with them. I know which rods and flywheel I need. I can't seem to find a cam, I don't think they are making them for the Intek 40's someone please help me there. Maybe any other suggestions anyone may have? It's just a personal project so no sanctioning bodies I have to abide by.. Sorry for the long post. I have been reading other's posts but most Intek stuff is old news. Thanks in advance, Tommy. One more thing. If any parts that will help me that I can get from briggs, I get them at cost.

Call precision cams for the cam if you have a cast cam they can use it for a core or you will have to buy a core if it's the powered metal one .They made the 40s both ways and some 40s have 1/2 inch journal and some have 5/8s..

I emailed them and they said they don't do Intek cams. I dropped my heads off today to get them milled .080 I'll try to call them during business hours.

Isky also has good cams, Tim Isky does some real nice good work! Oryou might want to call EC and ask about cams, they do sell them for Intek twins.
