Engine Assembled, Well sort of.

Sadly the engine build itself is missing alot of photo’s, something about assembly lube and digital camera’s didnt go together and Bart only managed to grab a couple of quick snaps during the assembly. Both Main Bearing and Cylinder head are fully studded to help control the extra flex this motor could see.

All thats left to do is to fit the new larger Output shaft and shim the valves, These are the only thing that prevented the engine from being fully assembled and sealed up last weekend. The output shaft is 5 mm larger than the factory unit and requires a larger spacer that was accidently left out of my shipment. No biggie, the standard spacer is going down to hamish engineering this week to get machine to suit the larger shaft.

At the moment i’d like to give a quick thanks to Coventry’s for helping out with this. They rarely do any form of motorsport sponsorship so for them to slip some cash my way was a big ask. They also gave me a killer deal on a new 295pc tool chest that contains just about everything needed to do the bike and are happy to extend that to PSB members which i will post details of later.

As it was a long weekend and i was waiting the output shaft to finalise the motor, i thought i would mock everything up and complete the plumbing for the fuel system.Figured it would be easier now than when the motor was in the bike.
