Its alot cheaper to do it right the first time... than do it twice...

thanks dave, i have done it now so no need but usfull info. new bearings all round in the bottom end. assembled so far as you can see. just waiting for the new clutch plates to soak over night. should hopfully have the bottom end complete over the weekend
dave916:
looks like that crank took a bit of balancing? did u get it welded or not? chis did not weld mine but i am still thinking about welding (cold) it myself,
is that the head gasket 1mm in picture u are using?
U can get a genuine 0.4mm steel from Cornwall for under 12quid
{when i sent my barrel with prox piston to langcourt i sent all clearance etc from cylmer manual }
jonny500:
the crank looks like swiss cheese lol, looks like they had to take alot out. that is a lancourts cylinder, i think they are the best in the U.K so i am sure it will be right but i am going to check it any way. crank not welded i dont think it needs it, time will tell. the gasket it a mitaka, no idea of the thickness i will use it for running in, then lift the head to check every thing and set the squish, how is yours going dave, is it together yet
