Re: Curvy cam cover seals?

Don't think I've ever fitted new ones except if someone was being very picky and wanted them!

Re: Building a intake with a single mechanical TB from the 60's

Re: Corrosion on engine exhaust mounts

Re: Electric/Mechanical gremlins?

The tensioners may rattle but that doesn't make them crap, there's a sleeve inside that rattles about, very rare to see one actually fail.

Electrics wise, if you've got flickering lights etc then...

Re: PLY Smart helmet

In the event of a crash do not remove a motorcyclists helmet.

Re: Noisy Cam chain?

Glad you got sorted. Seems you seriously dodged a bullet with the skipped timing. That is rare, and generally causes immediate engine death.



That's rubbish. There's no way "load" on the...

Re: Curvy Carb heater circuit

Didn't even know the heater circuit had a diode!

Re: Noisy Cam chain?

It is function of it. Curvy tensioner has a threaded bar down the middle, pointy one has a ratchet pawl.

Curvy one you need to rotate it round to slacken it off, pointy one you take the spring out...

Re: Noisy Cam chain?

Don't just go start putting random formulations (a lot of which are snake oils) in your oil before actually fixing the fault.

Cam chain is a big job, I can't remember completely but I think it may mean removing the head.
