Thanks Ken. Makes perfect sense. TBH I didn’t study the cylinder head oil pathways before reassembling as I went for the bung removal method after I’d cleaned up. As you say, I was probably being over cautious as the gallery proved to be squeaky clean.
Ta again.

“The end tunnel is a straight line, if there was anything inside it you'd be able to see it, a thin bristle brush down the internal one until you see it come out into the straight gallery is more than sufficient”.
Can you show us that please,Ken. I thought the only access to the cylinder head horizontal cam bearing feed gallery was via the cam shaft bearing oil feed or end bungs. I’m not sure how blast material could be seen. I’m not saying you are wrong, it’s just that I don’t understand. TBH, when I removed mine I found the gallery to be spotless.

Any thoughts on preparing the surfaces first? Vapour blasting perhaps or a jolly good scrub with Brillo pad or something similar.
Personally I vapour blasted and etch primed. Though simonizvht31d doesn’t require a primer. Great care is needed to avoid any ingress of contaminants. Alternatively go for soda blasting, but again clean, dry, clean dry and clean again. I blocked all holes and protected all bearing surfaces, but still cleaned every gallery and oil way scrupulously. Beware of the camshaft oil gallery as the alloy bungs need removing and replacing.

I used deox-c in my tank for 24 hours and it came up really clean. 👍
What size did you need to use?
The 1kg pot is all you need….£16

Yes, second that. Also, apply a mist coat and wait 20mins before applying the finish coat or two.

That’s the stuff. Works really well.

Use Bilt hamber diox c and fish tank gravel. Use hot water to make the solution and agitate every 6-8 hours over a 24 hour period. Rinse with de-ionised water and flush with a pint of diesel.

Isopropyl alcohol and wintergreen….it’s a temporary fix, but works. I’d have used Refos 50, but it seems to be unobtainable locally.

As Ted described, the trick is the initial set up as pictured. The trick is to engage the chain on the sprocket off the cam, rotate anti-clockwise to locate the first bolt then turn clockwise to engage the second bolt. Check the alignment. If it’s incorrect reset the process, but compensating for selection of the correct cam tooth. I know you know that by the way, Ken.

Ted. You explained that far better than I ever could. Buts that’s exactly how I installed mine. Glad all is coming along well. It will be firing up time soon.
