Thanks for the Heads up on the locals Teknik :woohoo: something I wouldn’t have found on my own, would’ve gone with one, eventually, as you said from the states. Will give both a ring on monday.
On the topic of auto Decomp removal, mine didn’t come with one (bought second hand) and it appears the oil gallery was never plugged in absence of the unit, that should have been done right? :huh:
Also is there a need to replace the cam shaft at all in terms of wear? I realise the stock cam aren’t optimal from what I’ve read/ heard. But is it something I can live with considering my limited prowess
Thanks Again B.W.

Plans for the old one (s) TB ? :whistle:

Had a closer look at the old oil pump Rotors
Not as they should be. :ohmy:The work goes on :pinch:
The subframe had a bit of rust from a repair done previously (i think) which was braised up before painting.
The stand and right side footpeg mounts too
Can’t believe how well the frame has come up. Apart from the bottom frame tube on the right being stoved in looks like new :woohoo:The bearings all arrived and removing them was a breeze with a shop press, but found some scoring on the bearing housing
Sorted it out with a Rat tail file.Started assembly which is just like Lego or mechano, follow the numbers in the book, that simple :huh: (Mostly)
Was spinning up the clutch pressure plate bolts when one of the bolt heads sheered off the shank at about 4-5 Nm, so its luck that it did then :dry: .When I came to putting the left side crank case cover on one of the bolts was spinning in the thread housing, stripped bolt i thought
The solution was just to run a bottoming tap through all the threads to clean out and clean up all the threads. Took a while to do left and right sides but its worth while.Nice one Razz, its a good place to get acclimatised greasy in the wet too :woohoo:
Gimme 2 weeks and ill be back from bare boltsB.W.
yeah, she was a doozey, did a right proper job on it :unsure: and only about 1500k’s max after a professional top end re-build. Also found the missing tooth of an idler gear that was replaced that another mechanic told me was definitely not in there anymore… :whistle:
Ya gotta laugh, learn from it and get on with it
