My 65 split bus

Done a bit to the motor tonight stripped and cleaned 1 head reground the valves. Cleaned the pistons and started on the case aswell..











Looks loads better then it did but never gonna be as clean as Spennys

Last nights work.
Pull the other head off ground the valves and cleaned it up.
Pull off the bottom pully so i could pull the oil pump off ready for the CB one to go in also pulled the clutch and flywheel off and i cleaned the engine with degreaser..

rich whats your clutch like?....i have one here with new thrust bearing ...clutch only done 2000 miles....plus i have another double 8 footer light if you want it for the workshop

Just realised that the fan housing is a single port one so has no dog house for the stock cooler to fit in which means it's only a single port cooling fan..

Off to order a new tin ware set and a new fan i think

i got a fan housing if you want it mate infact i have 2

Is it the stock style fan housing or the 30hp style and email me the price please dude

Just checked the feature in ULTRA bud it's the 30hp style so i'm def interested in it £££££££££££

Its bloody cold out there but i'm hoping to get the gearbox out, theGT one cleaned and built up then back in..

So she should be on the road monday fingers crossed

She's now turned round and on axle stands ready for me

Arse up, nose down & ready for you to slip one in from behind!!!

Well the old one is out and one axle is out.

Should all be back in later on ...

Cheers buddy, my ratty panel van is gonna have show winning tin in it now...

Here's my new tin all been blasted and 2k blacked..

Heres the GT box with the modded tubes fitted and shimmed up all cleaned and painted. With a new set of red urethane gearbox mounts and gearshift coupling..







Its nowplaced in the bus just needs bolting in..

Off out to the shed now to build my engine back up with a can of beer

Looking good Rich, what are you doing to the motor? Are we talking 2007cc or is it nothing that extreme

Cheers bud
I'm just leaving it the same size 1914 but stripped cleaned and reassembled the top end..

Both heads back on and valve clearance's done. But the problem i have is that the bloke i got it from said it had hydraulic tappets but alot of people said it's alot of wor to do it so it probably hasn't, but in this case it has got them and cos there's no oil in it they are spongy has hell so i'll need to run it up then cheack the valves to make sure all is alright

took you long enough

Drinking beer at the same time slows you down LOL the heads are porb gonna be up side doen LMAO

cool be good to see if it would work

Is there much benefit for hydraulic tappets then? In the Harley world people like to change them back to solid lifters in higher performance engines, not that I know much about it
