the 500t isnt the torsion valve head i dont think. (dohc) i dont know exactly what makes them better, so to speak, but i know they are favored. im no expert on them by any stretch. spinneys sidecar seems to do well with a 500t motor though.

oil capacity is a big deal with these motors, i know that. extra capacity pump on the 500 will save you alot of headaches. that i know. it is probably actually the capacity it should have.

wish i ha more for you, but i dont.

todd used to convert his torsion valve heads on his 450's to run in 500.

they had notorius oiling issues though.
