[QUOTE="lindie, post: 9751, member: 1466"] well, the heads are back together and on and the things on it's own wheels again. but what a bloody nightmare to get the guides finalised. three of the four were concentrically bored which mean't the fourth when the valve was placed in its lower guide wouldn't let the upper guide seat in the head. and as all bar the last top third of the lower guides were already finished to size with a 8 thou taper preventing the stems going all the way through, even if i got them reamed concentric i'd have either a concavity at the bottom or the top. so after a day of stewing about it i bit the bullet sunday and reinstalled the old fairly unworn inlet guide and now they're all concentric again. i could wait for another new guide but there's no guarantee it'd be any more accurate when it arrived so short of manufacturing my own at more expense i figure this is the best way round it for now. gave the valves a bit of a regrind and that was that. new muffler arrived fast and well packed (ta again terry) and once the bulk of it was reassembled i was looking forward to a run the next day. luckily while installing the dynamo i was reconnecting the main oil feed line and noted a drip from the hose at the banjo end of the pipeand on further inspection found how brittle it had become. sourced a new piece of oil hose the next day but at least it won't be breaking and leaking on the now postponed testride in the still hopefully near future. will get a few pictures when next out there with her.
