Separate names with a comma.
Did some more checking on this this afternoon. First of all checked that the bearings I had installed into the crankcases are the correct ones -...
OK, so while the barrels are away for replating, I've received the shims I ordered for the crank, input shaft and output shaft. The crank and...
That's a good idea
Have had a go at lightening the heavy piston this evening - I have got it down to 4g difference between them, by gradually removing material from...
I have a very "Heath Robinson" plan for a crank balancing check - more on that later.
I'd say that was perfectly serviceable - the purpose of that bore in the crankcases is to locate the cylinder barrel.
Thanks for all the input, everyone. Shims now ordered for a reduced preload value vs Service Manual. I'm still a bit worried about the 7g...
So just over 0.1mm? OK, that's quite a difference. Any risk to much lower preload - bearings spinning in cases or on the crank when they warm up?
As said above, some heat should get those moving. Also, where you've said "Red" threadlock - I'm assuming that means High Strength Loctite, 270,...
Spent this weekend looking at the crank and gearbox shaft shimming. The crank was straightforward, using two thinner shims as mentioned in the...
As some have already said above, we've never spoken directly, but the forum wouldn't be the same without your contribution. Sending best wishes...
Any part numbers on the aftermarket disc that would give any clues? The boxy fork bottoms don't look like anything Showa/Honda.
Difficult to see from the picture, what size is the tyre? 110/70 17? Any other markings or logos on the wheel?
Time for another small update. Managed to get all of the castings cleaned and painted, apart from the barrels which I need to send off for...
Usually one for the fan and one for the fuel pump/coils - or they are on my ST4s, I know others may be different. As Chris says above, you can...
Does anyone know where to get ThreeBond 1375B thread sealant? It's for the crank gallery plugs (1 x large and 2 x M8s). Have ordered from a place...
You need the engine under enough load early on to promote piston ring seal. A good few hard (not WOT, but useful "making progress") accelerations...
Some updates in case anyone's still interested. Installed the new valve guides yesterday afternoon - which I was putting off as I really wasn't...
OK, I have a burette so can measure the chamber volumes once I get the new valves in. Would you expect any issues with 12:1, such as having to use...
Thanks Steve, I appreciate the response. How much roughly will removing 0.6mm from the heads raise the compression? I now have a set of the later...
