I'm OK for engines but thanks anyway. I have a not good condition 86 engine which I have never actually tried to run so might even try that. The...
Yeah, it's probably completely shagged out. More of a forensic hobby now than anything else. Pity because externally it's in pretty good nick. I...

Chains, brakes and tyres deserve respect. I would get another soft link too and flare the rivets properly.

Sensible move using an oil cooler. I have no proof but the fact these engines run very hot is one possible reason for the valves dropping. I do...
I expect they are there to protect the spring from ham fisted mechanics like me. I did trim the rubber hose as it definitely did appear to be...
Maybe but I just don't think so. I have seen pictures of worn followers that made noise but mine look nothing like them. I did spot what looked...
