The thing that has prompted me to get moving again was the arrival of my newly ported and now BIG valve head thanks to Gavin Fox

Decided on this stuff to sort out the inside of the fuel tank. Looked at others but they look as though they would seal up the filter on the outlet.

Well who'd a thought it. They're in and they move. Transpires 2 of the caps must have swapped themselves over in the middle of the night ages ago. Never thought the machining marks would match 2 pairs of rods.

Phew

 

 

Well fancy that

I know. Think it was because they were that dirty when I took them off I thought I just 'make sure' I'll keep them together for now and then I'll clean em up and tipex them later. Couldn't find the Tipex!

I use a centre punch, clean or dirty, you can always mark them and always get them back in the same bores.

Glad you've got it sorted, easily done!

 

I just did my first engine rebuild and got one big end cap the wrong way round the first time

 

Its all good though, its how we learn ​

Thought that was supposed to be a no no

One thing I have noticed is there is play with the big ends even though it is torqued down. Which is a bit concerning or is there movement when it all is cold?

it that all mine does more than that. center punching can be an issue depending on where and how much of a animal you are.  dremel is good.

Yes I know you do and I bet it sounds great but I assume you haven't centre punched yours. I didn't hit the centre punch with a sledge hammer either.
