The tool makes it really easy, but I needed some help urgently (just for the show) :

I put 500 ml in each leg. 7.5 forkoil
The bike handles much better.
I´m very pleased with outcome ....

Hi socks,
I had to look up "tweezers" ... aaahh! A new word, thanks.
... but I have no idea what I have used it for... :scratch:

Maybe it is just lying there because I´m a lazy bloke.

As I´m preparing to build up a spare engine:
Image

It´s the old TT crankshaft. Kedo did the job for 249 Euros.
They swap out the rod plus lower end and the lefthandside bearing.
...and they make it nice and shiny again... :star:
Ready to fall into the crankcase.
Now I have nearly everything.
Lego for advanced.
Now I need some free time...
Would make a nice engine for a little trip to Australia next year... :nordie:

Or maybe the young lady (in the picture above) you had helping in the workshop left them behind,
after plucking some unwanted hair from her body.
:hot: :omg:

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

Ups! 4 month later....

I have a big problem!
Today I disassembled the engine of the Tenere.
There was no real need.
Image
The engine started ok , idled , had enough power ....
But I was set for a spare engine.
I have got everything to build a nice engine with some nice modifikations :
refreshed 2kf head
3AJ Barrel plus new piston
TT 600 S stainless header ...
Image
Image
Image
I wanted to look into the existing engine before I start the new one.
You ´ll never know what to find....
Image
Well, I found out that the bloody engine is in very good state!!!!
But still.... is has done 52000 Km´s.
Look at this ! It is the old crank, not the new one:
Image
Image
There is freeplay in the crankbearing (down in the case) but as we all know these are C3 bearings anyway.
The rod is as tight as the rod on the new crank.
Image
The gearbox shifted allways nice, I even had a very limited look into the gearbox via the balancershaft.... all good/very nice!
The clutch never made any trouble... and so on.
What to do, Polly Maggoo?
My question is:
Shall I put the new barrel plus new head on the old engine and be happy for the next 50000?
Has anybody done that? And has good expierence with that?

Or shall I tear everything appart and built a new engine?
:thanks:

Rebuild that engine (whilst its out) then build a spare engine Oli next year when you have time.
