  • Jlo cuyuna cylinder rotation

    Can the cylinders on a twin cuyuna engine be reversed like the "r" series jlo single....i've got a camel and the clearence is to tight to fit the exhaust the coprrect way..

    I don't think the fan tower will line up with the cylinder's (and head's) cooling fins correctly if you spin the jugs around. I could be wrong (I don't have one nearby to check right now), but memory serves that they were not symmetrical. It may *run*, but cooling will be inhibited if I remember correctly. The JLOs already classically suffer from a hotter condition on the PTO side cylinder, since hot air from the magneto side has to cool it.

    There are lots of other options to fit exhaust, too. Homemade manifolds, custom mufflers etc. are just a couple ideas. Upgrading to a twin would be a cool improvement. Do you have any pictures of the condition you're running into? There aren't too many photos of Camels here on the Site...
