9. Crank case conundrum.




After consulting my yellowed ancient copy of " Triumph twins" by the prolific scribe Mr. Haynes to make sure i wasnt missing anything obvious. The case joints cleaned HOT TIP USE CARB CLEANER IT REMOVES EVERYTHING SO EASILY. Bearings oiled, case joints gooed up cams located eazy peazy. Now slap cases together bish bash bosh job done.


Just a splash to protect new bearings on start up
Hylomar good enough for Rolls Royce

Case supported on wooden rest. Ease it in baby
What are you looking at here? Its the cam it scuffs the flywheel. That race cam again. These little incidents occur when deviating from standard but if you want a preformance upgrade you have to expect things like this and deal with them.  Better put my thinking cap on.
