my NC30 rebuild....

[gonzothegreat]

a little bit more progress.
First let me say that I have managed to remove the last part of the exhaust (the tricky part at the rear) without any bolt snapping or removing the swingarm, but the oil leak I have there is as bad as the BP oil leak...

Some pictures, valve covers off

Front


Rear


semi naked front

Unless I knocked off a shim by accident without realising, but there was a loose shim in the middle of the front head.

More work done this evening,


semi naked rear

[gonzothegreat]

so a little bit more progress was done today, I didn't have my camera with me this morning as I was taking the bike apart (got it after).

One dirty frame





One very dirty swingarm





the engine partly opened up....





A pile of bits, you got to have a picture of that

[gonzothegreat]

And some cleaned parts

One clean swingarm






Used some Gunk and a tooth brush...
Rather pleased with the outcome, as I am not building a show bike, that level of cleaning is enough for me.
As you can see from the previous pictures, it's a night and day difference.


That round thing from the back



Whatever you call that
