Re: Can you see what it is yet
Top end time then.
Again practice fit the barrels - I immobilised the centre pistons
I used 1/4" extension bars to hold the outer pistons
.... to give me this
After this I slapped on the head and tightened it using low, medium and then full torque. So next I'll move to cam shafts

Re: Can you see what it is yet
Wotcha :)
Dropped the cams in ... So cam timing then ... couldn't work out why it didn't go in right, until I read back through the manual and dropped the exhaust cam in first
TDC on the flywheel lines up with the cases joint at the front of the engine, and the cams marks are vertical on exhaust and vertical +15% on the inlet
With the engine buttoned up I moved on and used the new scissor jack to get the engine in the frame. Usually I drop the bike on it's side work the engine in and stand it up but using this was actually easier
Time for a well earned curry I think

Re: Can you see what it is yet
More stuff done today, clutch in, generator on, exhaust & radiator on, oil & coolant in. I spun it over on the starter (it didn't go bang) to get oil pressure.
To do - put the carbs on, top the oil up, change the left hand clip-on. Start the bugger.

Re: Can you see what it is yet
So after getting the bike to run I did a few small jobs, clean and set the chain, changed the brake pads for some EBC HH, I thwacked the lock stop boss around so the left bar doesn't trap your fingers.

Re: Can you see what it is yet
Then I got onto the tail body panels, the left was a little scuffed but not to bad, I would have replaced them but I didn't see anything in reasonable knick. I decided to sort out the missing / broken bolt holes, the right hand one was worst so I cut a bit out of a scrap panel and let it in. The left just panel needed a bit moulded on.
Mot time and it passed. :)
