[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 22140, member: 4034"] (I'm reading this thread backwards...) I didn't think of it as a "how-to", but I was impressed at how well the sub-assemblies were laid out, and how simple and straightforward it made the motor look. The internals weren't much like mine though, mine being a Black Shadow both externally and internally... I particularly like the valve gear in bits vs the valve gear assembled, a model of clarity. I confess I didn't notice your name in there Len, but I congratulate you on a super piece of work. The text was OK too, no "Black Widow" myth-spinning, but it's a pity there isn't less focus generally on "125 mph top speeds", and more on the fact that this motor can reasonably be expected to do 50,000+ miles with only routine maintenance (IMHO the real testament to PEI and PCV's creation), and is perfectly capable of cruising all day at motorway speeds 60 years on.
