Ideal, problem solved then

On mine there isnt enough room on the top of the valve before the collet for that, hence the running it upside down and up into the bucket, but obviously your setup is a little different to mine and the rs200 then.

yes think its just the type of valve used there is about 17mm above the collets

the old engine was opposite way round with the stem on the bucket and the shim went over it

regarding the camera

why not do what i have done and use a solid state recorder, it records straight to a memory car, and vibrations dont affect it

i have bullets camera's too

excellent work dude
