  3. you didn't change the oil when you did the hx's did you? and strip that strainer bolt thing that attaches to the camshaft casing thing?

    no i didnt do anything from above. Pulled hx's off and then refitted. There's not much chance anything fell in the engine from my doing. Something somewhere has failed.
     
  6. you could remove the tinware. Maybe a screw or screwdiver is/ has got into the fan housing / alternator, jamming as it goes round 1/2 cycle. Taking tinware off wont take long, and its got to come off anyway. Clutching at straws really.

    Yeah i have done all that. Was on the test run when it decided to play up. At least i know the h/x's are sorted lol.
    Hopefully i can find the problem without splitting the case. But hope isnt reality. . . we will see.

  10. Boxes full of bits .. more labels and list that you think you need and photos of where things were before are good... specially if you're as forgetful as me... and your yoke is arriving tomorrow

  12. Food bags are good with little numbered tags in and a long list to match which you get too oily to read...

    Just take your time
     
  18. You'll be reet...just don't drop the heads and dent the sealing face or smash something against the piston and jam the compression ring in place.. .. it'll back in and running in no time

    I dropped an m5 washer down a carb once. Bang when I turned it over, bang when I tried again, just to be sure. I have no idea how it got there, but it must have been me!
    But I reckon one of your pistons is in pieces or a conrod is falling apart. :D

    I have to take the heads off I guess. Then barrels? I should replace the piston rings I am guessing?
