Bob's broken bus competition

It's not @paradox in the engine bay trying to get out is it?

 

I was going to say something along those lines.....Illegal Immigrants?

 

No idea, but it sounds bad/expensive

 

Yes I think I'll bit the bullet and drop it.

 

If it is I'll chuck in some tractor enamel and a brush!

 

Is it out yet...

My guess.... Erm... Dropped valve.... Can that even happen?

 

I'll be in P'bro in the morning and an extra 10 miles won't hurt so would be happy to drop it off if someone's around or I could leave it in a safe place

Will send a PM with my mobile number and give me a call in the morning

Mr B

 

hope you get it sorted quickly @sANDYbAY !

 

Thank you

 

I'm going to vote for big ends on this one.

 

Hi mate. When you find out what's actually wrong, I have lots of T4 bits around. If I have what you need they're yours.

 

Go on the tour then you can steal all the bits you need from @Paul Weeding .

 

My vote is little end let go/grudge on pins snapped. Just to be different and because it's what always happens to my old Kawasaki's motors.

 

See, that wouldn't have happened if you'd bought a Honda

 

No the cams would have worn away instead.

 

When it gets stuck, turn it the other way and see how far it goes.

 

I found it just as easy with the engine in but I have the added bonus of a ramp at the workshop.

It's not that nasty a job to do either. Just a pain really because of what you need to take off. I would advise that you look at the other head too. I'm to replace my other head in a few weeks. Valves in the was that failed didn't sous thy great on the tap test. Only the exhaust on #1 sounded any good.

I'd also recommend you replace the vale screw adjusters. Mine were a little bit in a mess and on was very hard to "feel" up exhaust the matting surface was so worn. Well they had done 130000 miles.

Speaking of heads I have one for sale. Only slightly used. £200.

 

Oh I forgot to mention that other side has a slight problem requiring tappets to be reset every 70 miles. A bit of blu-tac will haw that seat stuck in no time.

 

Yeah, with a lift not too bad a job. On your back outside on the rain its a mare

Those heads look nice
