There is summat near the strainer what needs a tighten dabbers. Info is either in Heinz or Worksop Manuel.....else it might come back to me.
Can't see pic clearly ..what bolt missing? Put it on the list.

[Rallyist]

I think it is an oil gallery machining point that was plugged during manufacturer as it is below the gearbox sprocket where an oil gallery exits near the oil seal that's why you have a spigoted oil seal in that location.

Daps could be the oil nozzle your thinking of, haynes mentions making sure it's not come loose !

No pic yet, it's inder the strainer.

[dapleb]

[dablik]

That hole is for the oil banjo.   Can also see where the earth strap locates, good to have the info.

[dablik]

Yea the earth strap in particular as most know it's earthed to the engine but not exactly where, under the rubber flap which prolly means removing oil tank to get at it when in-situ.

[Studley Ramrod]

Jeez a week off work to get stuff done and it's still chuckin, so i put me mackintosh and ski pants and braved the rain, well for a short while, it's not fun, yammered out the bearings from the front wheel as i need to have it dipped to remove the powder coat.

 

Then got one leg pulled apart using me manly strength, this is an old set wot used to be on Bigred and i got back after Big Dave squashed the right side until it leaked, that one's not coming apart because the bottom bolt is loose and now just spinning so cant get the cartridge out, mayhap will need drilling out.

Edit... Daps i'm sure you can guess wot else i'll be after if still available

 

Where did you buy the new bushes and seals from matey ?  Can only find pairs of 'Outer Bushes' on ebay and Wemoto only sell the outer bush too.

[dablik]

Not purchased either yet but the bushes were on Wemoto last week, inner and outer kit £23.00ish, just looked again and not there now, prolly be a little while till they get more in...

 

Edit, currently only showing for mk2.

Edited by dablik, 16 May 2019 - 09:17 am.

[Studley Ramrod]

Wierd that most peeps only selling 2 outer bushes, unless they're actually a set of bushes for one fork.  Will check out pyramid parts site, might email 'em too.

[dablik]

Had a lookee on Pyramid, same result as Wemoto but you may be right as it seems strange to only find Outer bushes dunnit..

[dablik]

All i have to post is

 

Leg puller i ordered spreads just fine and gets a good grip on the flat at the bottom of the flywheel but top rim prevents me being able to tighten up and get any tension as the legs just kiss it, 10mm either side and i would of been laughing, finally had to get the drill in and re-tap (was hoping to avoid this) but it's very shallow, thought a helicoil would be just the thing but cant get an 8.3 bit in, no room, here's hoping a bit of green loctite will hold a bolt in for another bash with a harmonic puller again, maybe i should just buy a hydraulic wan

 

Other new's had a visit today from an experienced eye and while here had a good look and measure of the pistons and the state of the barrels (good) plopped em back in with the rings on (they never fell out ) nice resisitance and they slide up and down the barrels bootiful, so a hone and new rings are the new plan, the piston heads were coked up a little which came clean with wd40 and a light scrub, rings are in good order with some slight wear on the oil expander rings but otherwise in good condition.

 

Also waiting on a replacement head to arrive which i had to pay for with mint sauce of all things..

Is that with the 8" puller ?

If you're gonna get another rotor you could grind some slots out of yer currant wan where the puller legs would go.  Or, if you're using the harmonic puller, any chance of getting a nut onto the back of the bolt ?

 

Thought you would be using them over-sized pistons and rings ?

[dablik]

That was a 6" puller with a 150mm spread, most only have a 100mm spread, even with an 8" prolly still happen, that might bare some thinking about to cut grind the rotor at the legs !! ya bassad i'll be thinking about that in bed now    not sure where you mean to put a nut on the back of the bolt, the harmonic puller has a threaded centre for the squish bolt, provided the bolt holds where i've had to retap the harmonic should pull it off no problem, but of course need another one as original is like a banana.

 

Yea your right, OS pistons were defo going in, Dave was over today and had a good look over the original stuff.

Powder coating can be removed but it's a right booger, used No nonsense paint stripper (Screwfix) smells like Almonds, yum yum and a bit of elbow grease with a stiff nylon brush.

I had 9er barrels turn up and asked specifically for barrels to be well packed and separate from other parts.... So they sent them in the same box as gearbox which side hammered the bottom of barrels out of round... DIME BAR!!!

Chickens foot no worky dabbers??

[Studley Ramrod]

Is that a snapped puller leg ?  I'd send it back for a refund if it is mate.  Crap packaging eh, should still be useable though.  Are the camshaft bearings good ?

Na not having it, tightened up previously as much as i dare and left it for a goodly while, poured boiling water inside and give a gentle tap, nothing happening, boiling water again and freeze spray to try and shock the bugger and nowt, turn the motor up and give another little tug and chicken foot snapped.
