hell yes.... Julie mentioned it right at the start, and so far I have seen exactly why. The carb rubbers are like steel....the o-rings are brittle, the pucks had to be peeled off the carriers like old chewing gum off the sole of your shoe...And that's just the top end. I will be replacing every bit of rubber I possible can, as none of these items will ever seal, and would most likely crumble to dust. I do need to find a source of replacement rubbery bits though. Seen a few sets of 'engione rubbers' ... but no description of what's included. So will need to make a few phone calls before I unlock the credit card.
Thanks Trigger 😀So far, I have o my got halfway down .. but the list is:8 tappet inspection o rings6 pucks4 small ovrings for the oil jets and the other 2 oil holes.O ring on cam chain tensioner plunger shaftThat's so far .. the list will grow as I haven't reached the cam chain guides, guide wheels, crank oil seals, gearbox oil seals and suchlikeThe cam chain tensioner rubber block is pretty rock hard, but I suspect that would mean replacing the whole shaft. The metal plate has very little wear though.Dennis ...thanks for the tip. I have doused the areas I can with penetrating oil, and will let it sit for a day or two. I have undone all the bolts shown in the picture, so it is just gasket grip or something corroded in place. Could be time to start making some wooden wedges.....
Typical looking USA wheel on the cam chain tensioner, chewed Wait until you get to the oil pump
