Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks Bryan. Mechanically it seems to work fine. I assume that the slot is there to hold the mechanism still as you do the locking nut up; is that right?
DomP:
That's how I understand it Mike
Bryanj:
Yes, but as long as the nut is not binding it should be ok
Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks Bryan. When I’m putting it back together I will run a tap through the nut and a die over the thread and clean in solvent/petrol and give a light lube with something?
Mike_Berkshire:
I’m collecting all the bits ready for putting the top end back together next weekend provided the gasket set arrives and I can sort any necessary replacements for the O rings. I’m a bit anxious as this is the first time I have worked on any motor with more than 2 cylinders, 1 carb and an overhead cam instead of pushrods. However with the benefit of all the info on this forum, YouTube, the parts books etc I think I know what to do.
One question and I’m sure there will be more is about the oil control valves in the block that mate with the barrels. Should I clean these, blow them out with an airline or something? I’m a bit wary of doing anything as the parts book describes them as valves and so may have small moving parts inside. What prep, if any, is sensible for these parts?
