Oops, side tracked :shock:

back to releasing the crank

put the bits in the box :wink:

Cases empty (ish)

My pictures have got a bit jumbled so forgive me if they flick backwards and forwards slightly :oops:

looking at the crank cases , I keep noticing more locating dowels and more o rings :shock:

I think I've got most of them out now, but some of the dowels just don't want to budge :cry:

I don't want to get all 'medieval' on them, so have decided to leave the couple that I can't shift :??

The selector forks etc was the last things to come out of the cases.
the mechanics of them looked quite daunting :??

(I now know that I have 'lost' all my photos of the forks internally, as I was removing them.
I only have the external photos :oops:

that'll be a problem later :cry:

)
Trying to see how all this worked /came apart was a real test, and to ME it has been the hardest part of the strip down so far( too many parts in direct interaction with each other, and in such a confined space).

Noticed this spring loaded arm sits in a 'gauged' out area.

freddyz1r · #97 PostAuthor: **freddyz1r** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 11:17 am

Tried to take pictures of everything as it came out, how it came out etc etc

and of course what it looks like when it's out on the table :roll:

If you cast your mind back, I found some shards of something in the sump, that resembled 'bakerlite' :shock:

further investigation found this

it is some sort of 'resin' / filler.
It has been used to repair the back of a thread in the casing

the bolt actually still pulls tight :shock:

freddyz1r · #99 PostAuthor: **freddyz1r** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 8:58 pm

Started looking at the head and the stripped threads.
realised that 3 or maybe 4 have already had an insert / 'helicoil' fitted.

highlighted the openings that need attention :cry:

I'll try and get it dropped off at 'mansfield engines' in the week and let the "professionals"
repair the threads :wink:

Started getting a few bits ready for polishing, you may recall I had a play with my new blasting cabinet :shock:

thd effect on the ally foot peg hangers was spot on :up

this was the pics of the 2 foot peg hangers. The thick black paint came off a treat on the 1 I'd already tested

it even left the 'nobly' finish which it's supposed to be. Just needed a bit more work.

freddyz1r · #101 PostAuthor: **freddyz1r** » Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:59 am

First thing, I had to remove or mask the black disc (surround for the centre stand lock).
It turned out not to be a decal/sticker :clap

so i was able to remove it whole. (It's not in bad shape and I could re-use it, but I think if they are still available somewhere ((depending on price :oops:

)) I will replace it).
The after effect of removing the thick black paint is very good, the hangers should polish up nice :wink:

Took my frame and a load of other parts round to the blasters/ powder coaters.
seeing as I'm not trying to build a 'rivet counters dream' :shock:

I decided on everything going a shade of gloss black (there are 12 basic shades of gloss black alone :??

)
if I'm honest my head was spinning :star

(have you ever heard of too much choice :?:

).
Anyways I took lots of pics before I dropped everything off and listed every part, heres just a couple ( are you getting bored of all the low quality photography yet :?:

). I'll do a comparison after friday when I pick it all back up.

When I dropped the cylinder head off, the guy pointed out a couple of potential problems :shock:

I've tried to highlight 1 off them (zoom in) using photobucket :wall

. I admit I'm crap :turd

at this photos malarkey.

theres hardly anything left on the outside part of the head (it's been opened out that much already, that a tiny piece has dropped off :bawl

),he has suggested drilling out the remaining thread, inserting a piece of bar, welding it into place, filing / shaping the outside and re-drilling and tapping back to (I think M6) size. :hot

I SAID YES :tick

anyways it should be done for the close of play on friday :lol:

How come my pics look so large on here?
Do I need to 'crop' each 1 or something?

Cheerz freddy

(don't forget you are explaining to the 'technically challenged' :fou
