EnduroGuzzi Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 More than a thought experiment, I've been offered a Griso motor from a part out. i've seen plenty of these in Tonti frames, but does anyone have any idea as to whether you can put one of these new motors in a spine frame? my v11 is a salvage bike already so I wouldn't be lowering its value at all. Just looking for collective wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Someone on here has done a 1200 in a spine frame. I can't recall but it'll show up eventually. I will follow with Interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I wonder if the Griso 12 has more beans than V11 engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobleswood Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Which Griso engine are you looking at ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Oh yeah... there's the 2-valve vs. 4-valve per cylinder issue - and the mandatory roller conversion for the early 4-valve heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnduroGuzzi Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 It's a 2012 8 valve motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 May very well need rollerized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete roper Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Also consider that the alternator precludes it's fitment to the Spineframe. While not a killer it would mean that you would need to swap out the timing chest cover and work out a way of mounting an alternator onto the foreshortened crank of the CARC bike motor. It's been done before but it's not a bolt-in swap. As others have said find out if it's a flat or roller motor and if a flattie how many miles/Km it has done. If a flattie it WILL need rollerising. Factor in $1500 for that. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
