[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 11064, member: 109"] [b]Thanks Tim - no rush for a reply to this one...[/b] Hi Tim, thanks for that. I guess that as the bright spot on the pushrod is fairly central that would suggest that I don't have a potential problem with the central adjuster nut assembly as described in the V3 posting page 4 - it was this description of the adjuster nut being 4mm off square that I was wondering how to check without the means of mounting in a lathe. What I didn't think through properly was that the piece that worked against it, the pushrod, would show up any off square operation, with either a bright spot off centre or more than likely an over diameter bright spot given the rotation of the adjuster nut (on its clutch plate) and the pushrod relative to each other - each operation of the clutch would then force the pushrod onto a fresh section of its head to the ball bearing and hence a larger bright spot. Is my logic right? Cheers [/QUOTE]
