[QUOTE="macvette, post: 23162, member: 262"] Thanks for all of the replies, I'll take this piece of advice, I've been varying the speeds like this after the first hundred miles although only up 65 or so, the engine feels much happier this way. I also lifted the needles one notch and the pipe colour is much reduced. I'll try adjusting the pilots next. I'd still like some hands on tips on adjusting the selector in addition to what's in the books if there is any out there. As far as the oil pipe routing goes, I had to replace the original engine - end pipes because they were beyond reclaiming but I still have them. I replaced them with parts from the VOC. The originals have at least 3 or 4 subtle bends in them which allowed them to be routed much more neatly close to the timing cover and it maybe that the kick start cover could have been removed if they were still there. The new pipes were a poor fit and I had to bend them significantly to get them to fit even as you see them now. In fact the engine side feed pipe pointed directly into the centre of the battery before I bent it so it wasn't even possible to route the rubber portion sensibly so I will have to remove them to adjust the gear change but that's not a problem.
