Head leak after rebuild

<< < (5/5)

K2-K6:
Good work and nice feeling when you've corrected something with a thought through solution.

They aren't a complex engine, but with careful detail attention needed to ensure reliable running one of the largest parts.

Hopefully all set for getting out as better weather comes  :)

thanks for those comments, must admit relieved to see it work out originally as planned! and looking forward to the warmer weather 8)  now completed the rear wheel rebuild with a DS spoke kit,  a bit of surface corrosion on the original front rim, only lasted 55 years with a rechrome, prefer to keep original parts but looks like I need a new rim and spokes. this seems to good a deal on ebay? or its DS again?

Nurse Julie:
Better to buy a DID rim from David Silver and stainless spokes from CWC. That one advertised on Ebay is a Takasako.
I'm pleased the engine is no longer incontinent 😁😁

Alimacdee2:
Ha funny you mention that  this bikes given me the urge! ;)  stainless would be nice for the extra cost, always liked the idea there’s more give in flexible mild steel spokes, did have a look at your eBay shop for parts btw, a see DS has 2 front DID rims, I’ll maybe give them a ring tomorrow.

Spitfire:
I think that every 750 I have owned eventually had rusty front wheel spokes, so when I rebuilt my F1 wheels it was stainless spokes all the way, never looked back since.

Cheers
