Hi Tony It's moving on then I lube the crank with the same oil you intend to use through the pump or premix - makes sense to keep it the same. And genny side oil seal - pretty sure this seal can go either way with no issues but I'm sure when I asked the question before, guys fit it with the wording on it facing out. More important is to remember the other side - castellations face inwards towards the crank. Dry fit the crank and bolt up the cases fully to make sure the crank spins freely, before parting the cases and adding your sealant - saves a lot of mess if you find a tight spot otherwise Dusty Hi Dusty, Slowly.. Did you use an anti seize paste when using st/bolts joining your case halves together? i know stainless and aluminium have the tendency bind together after a while. Tony

Going to be fitting the Crank tomorrow, just a couple of questions. What oil should i use to lubricate the Crank bearings?? Does the oil seal on the stator side have a right way to go in, it looks the same both sides to me. Any tips welcome Regards Tony

Fitted new clutch arm bearing and seal, used a length of 6mm studding a couple of washers, gradually tightening the nut draws the bearing in place. PICT2595 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr PICT2597 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr Did the same thing replacing the gearchange shaft bush. PICT2599 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr PICT2600 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr PICT2604 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr Fitted a new gear shaft today, set it up as per Haynes manual, how critical is the equal spacing between point A and B ?? going up the gears from 1-6 the spacing was fine, going from 6-1 the spacing was a fraction different.

Got mine from Fowlers, 93306-30504 £21.22,93305-20502 £44.28,93311-42045 £16.93, 93311-22027 £17.56, mine is a 1wt engine but i'm sure they are all the same.
I did try to obtain them from other bearing suppliers, none of them could supply all four so i got them from fowlers.

Yes there should be a fibre washer underneath each screw. Thanks Shytalk, Are they the red ones you can get from a plummer's merchant?? Tony

Just removed my fuel tap to replace all the seals as my fuel tap is dripping and noticed the mounting bolts have got some sort of sealant on them, should there be a fibre washer or some sort of seal on the mounting bolts??

That's no problem, just get it skimmed and recut to get the worst of it out. Stan used to charge very little for this. Any tuner should be able to do it for you, try Mick. Thanks for that abar121, Took it over to Stan's this morning and he did it whilst i waited, charged me £40 Tony

It's getting exciting now Tony Don't worry about the engine mounts. You cant see them that well when it's all bolted back in. Are you ready to start the build ? Dusty Almost Dusty, just need to get a few more things yet. Tony

Hi Dusty,
Was wondering if you treated your cases with ACF50 to protect them?

Fitted a new brake hose a while back and it's scuffing the swing arm, as far as i'm aware the hose is fitted correctly. Any ideas on how to prevent this?? Tony PICT2583 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr

Personally I would be willing to pay £80 maybe a little more for one My reasoning for that is I can get an unmarked used one for £40-£50 and I can paint one to look new for the cost of a tin of paint Let us know if you get them at a good price and have some to punt on. Steve Hi Steve, What spray paint do you use? and do you use a special primmer as it's plastic? Tony

Had a couple of quotes regarding painting and powder coating, they vary from £50-£100 per casing depending on condition and finish required, is this about the going rate???

Thanks Dusty
Don't think the Stator cover can be powder coated though as it's plastic..

Still not sure what option to take with regards to the finishing on both cases, do i get them painted with 2 pak and if so how hard wearing is it? or do i get the clutch cover powder coated (is this a good idea with regards to heat retention?) and the stator cover painted in 2 pak? Any advice welcome Tony

No sitting idle though, whens the next project starting?

Jon, Just reading your reply with regards to (Bore size is also a big factor, possibly even more so on a PV, as larger sized rebores require the PV’s themselves to be modded so more extra effort/money.) How large are we talking about before the power valves themselves need to be modified?? Tony Mine were at 1.75mm over and the power valves needed trimming at that so maybe 1.50mm is the limit for leaving the powervalves alone Thanks headcoats, mine are only at 1mm at the moment.
