Hi all

Well that was not too bad

Motor all now stripped



And all the parts left in the original oil then bagged tagged and boxed up



Next stage it to arrange for the two cases to be vapour blasted at a local company. Then I can get the cam chain tensioner mod done on the mill at work (new tensioner kit ordered from Dennis via EBay)




And then get that lug welded up) Then I am ready to plan the rebuild.

Catch up soon

Best wishes Al

 Are you leaving it with the vapour blast finish or painting it ? I do vapour blasting but I decided to paint mine

allankelly1:
No going to paint the cases in the normal silver

Well that was fun

First stage of the rebuild done

Decided before I get the cases cleaned I will do the tensioner mod as it would make a bit of a mess with swarf.

Managed to drill out the seized up m8 tensioner bolt and re drill and tap for Dennis’s stainless steel tensioner kit

Also made up a new tensioner bar too as original was damaged after drilling out the m8 section of the tensioner bolt






Planning to now drop top and bottom cases off at the vapour blasters tonight and then on their return I  can start the rebuild starting off with fitting and checking new shell bearings for both mains and big ends
