The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

PS If you’re considering removing all the case plugs for a good clean - don’t. Tapping for new ones is a nightmare.

 

Regretably…I’ve run out of gold paint

 

£30 quids worth from between the ‘R’ and the line next to it.
Is that about right?

 

Premium unleaded or boggo standard?

 

Very neat like that.

 

Booooring.

 

Absolutely Perfect.

No need to ask again

 

Premium I think

 

Thanks. Good to know that it works!

 

Tbh, last time I filled it right up, was probably 10 or more years ago. I certainly havnt used it at much in the last 6 years. 4 of those, it was just sat in the garden as we had just moved house snd was waaaay too busy to use it.

 

Time consuming - one false move and the case is scrap!

 

Bloody right. Came close a couple of times. Not recommended.

Pity noone does knock-in ally plugs like the originals. Would make it a lot easier.

 

Waiting for my loctite to arrive, so I can stuff all the plugs back in. Sick of looking at them.

 

You're making a thorough job of it though, you'll soon forget the pain and misery!

 

I won’t! The dodgy one at the top will play on my mind . The “bung the internal oil gallery up” inner one went surprisingly well, though. We’ll see if it works.

Was only supposed to be a freshen up of bearings, etc. The case is fine (or was ). Ended up buying a new cam, as a proper measure up showed the lobes were worn, even though they looked ok - theoretically losing about 4-5mm of valve lift up the top. Chinese job, but actually looks ok. The cam gear issue doesn’t seem to exist any more - maybe the Chinese cut the gear so sloppily, it doesn’t matter any more…

 

How many gas taps does a girl really need ?

 

You don't get much for £30 at premium prices

 

No, I know. It’s all Sainsbury’s had going.
Apart from the diesel, most of the pumps had clamps on and ‘not in use’.
