No, they’re the upgraded Zebra style.
(a previous owner painted the engine without dismanteling, this is what you get)
taysidedragon:
If a low grip threadlock or coppergrease is used on the threads would that stop any corrosion altogether or just delay it for a while?
Erwin83:
Installing the cylinder is quite tricky without the tapered bottom of the cylinders. But after an hour on my knees next to the bike and many drops of sweat later, the block finally thumped on the new gasket (which I gave a lick of liquid gasket too, just to try and prevent leaking for as long as possible).
Nurse Julie:
I keep my fingers crossed you have no leaks. That area is quite oil free really, its just the area around the oil return paths / dowels / studs, that usually leak if anything. I can see this bike being back on the road by Christmas, you are making great progress 😊😊😊
Erwin83:
That may be possible, but once the engine is back together, I also have some wishes with the exhaust. I currently have a 4-2 based on the original header pipes of the 350f. I have the ambition to make it 4-4 again with 4 open peashooters.
