[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 132700, member: 3426"] I did the last twin and the Comet Mongrel by just peering down the tube holes and it seemed to work fine. I don’t currently have any followers ( dead or not) to see if the camera will be of any assistance. I bought the thing, so would be nice to use it somehow. Quality of the camera is iffy, but would be good enough for shimming followers. I don’t know the exact specs on the spindles other that they fit properly. I took the cases over to the local guru because I wanted to confirm that my plan of attack for some surgery had merit. Didn’t get to explain my plan... just instructed to leave the cases and he’d have a look. Next day, I received an email stating they were done. I’m not sure why and I’m not sure he knows why either, but when I picked them up, he said to bring them back when I had the bearings, spindles, etc. Given his experience and equipment, it was a pretty easy choice. The cases turned out to be quite a lot of work. NOS die cast cases and the some of the bearing bores were actually undersize, etc, Anyway....long story short, I have them back. Decked, mains installed and then lapped to size, spindles installed and assurance that “ you have a nice set of case there”. So consider myself fortunate. I would be tempted to say that other than maybe adjusting spindle depths, assembling the timing chest should be straight forward, but I don’t want to jinx myself. [/QUOTE]
