Looking for Jim bierly
 

Looking for some help to contact Jim BIERLY I haven’t been able to get a hold of him. He is grinding a cam for me. Does anyone have any information? I’ve been trying to contact him for three weeks thank you. I appreciate any help.

There are a lot of posts concerning him
and the Brierley cylinder head over on
the HAMB, if you are not a member
already you can try posting and asking there.

He's doing a cam for me too. Spoke to him on the 10th and he said about 3 weeks.

He’s a great guy, very knowledgable and helpful. He did a cam for me, I’m very pleased with it.

I just got off the phone with Jim. Unfortunately he's currently in rehab from a fall that broke 3 ribs. Once he gets home he'll be able to catch up on things.

I have a Riley two port head valves in head. Cam is in the model B block. I’m not sure what Jim told me I needed for a grind. It could be the SU1R grind. Do you have the specs on that grind appreciate your help I really do

I would be curious to find out if the TwoPort required a different cam profile than a flathead.

If I was stuck in rehab I would be bored out of my mind and emailing friends, posting and reading the Forum’s etc. We’re all different.

Yeah if you had a computer handy or a phone screen big enough to see with old eyes.

Are there any updates on Jim? Wondering how he is doing but I don't mean to be intrusive.
