But can it bother performance, compression et al? ![Undecided :-\](http://www.sohc.co.uk/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

No, they'll be fine George as the clamp down into the copper exhaust gaskets

Yes, Peter Horton, Kent 400, will sort that out.

It depends which gasket set you use as to the size O rings you will need. All the kits have different depth head gaskets.

I want to paint the housing, just wondering if anyone has removed one.
I assume it’s stuck down and maybe a bit of heat will enable me to remove it and then put it back after.
Yes, I stick mine on top of the radiator so it makes the glue gooey, it's like UHU, then slide a very thin blade under it and gradually peel off. Be careful to not bend the plate as it leaves a line in the metal.

Never heard of them Julie, but good old google research unearthed a bit of info!👍
I had heard of Ailsa Craig before but that's because they are Potatoes, which I've grown and also tomatoes, which I still grow and an Onion that I've never grown😂😂😂

At last, I've had time to read through this thread. The only 'old' engine I've ever had a up close and person relationship with is a Ailsa Craig 1hp (I think 🤔) that we had as an outboard motor on our tenders to get too and fro our boats when they were anchored off shore. It always reminded me of an electric whisk to look at, very small and compact but was ultra reliable, never left us stranded, thank goodness 🤣🤣🤣

I have a set of used HM323's for sale. Fit 500 K0, K1, K2 and 550 K0, K1 and K2. Very good condition for age, removed from a running bike and sounded good. Blemishes etc as shown in photos. All boxed up ready to go. £650 + post at cost or arrange your own collection.
I may not have added all the photos I took but if anyone is interested, PM me your email address and I'll send everything that way.

Old bushes knocked out today. They were as Julie described: a sort of Bakelite material, definitely not metal. I concocted a tool to knock them out made of a length of M10 studding. Worked a treat. When it comes time to put the arm back in the frame I’m probably going to need some help. Looking at the parts diagram I don’t recall there being that many spacers and washers etc when I took it apart. Everything that came off was bagged up however, .
On yours Mike, referring to the fiché picture, you only fit the new bronze bushes and the end cap.

You don't use the felt with the bronze bushes, just the end cap.

Sad times Julie, but you are left with a manageable number of bikes!
Yes Johnny, 6 is a an ideal number. We had 16, possibly 17 at one stage, either our own riders, others fully restored by Graham ready for sale and others in the process of being restored by Graham, it was standing room only in places 🤣🤣🤣.
