It's very light and when I got into the crankcase there looked to be a piece of the same material which myself n Bluedog thought may fit onto the bottom of the long cam chain slipper. Everything in there looks OK though. Nothing nasty Would post a pic of the bit Bluedog n I found but can't pissing find it. My phone camera is pretty shite really but all looks well with bottom end. Now to get things to the polisher n decide what I'm actually doing. I am definitely painting motor black n know prep is key. Question is before I get to it do I try vapour blasting or do I d.i.y soda blast? Anyone?

Ok, cool. I somehow managed to post twice n there's a picture on the other post.....D'oh! I'm blaming the phone.

Well, 10 hours with parts washer n toothbrush. Not found anything too scary. Though the sump did kinda worry me, strainer totally utterly rammed n a couple of crankcase lodgers!!! Anyone got any idea on the bit of ally? Fooked if I can see any webs/fins or similar broken. Gotta pick up a 32mm socket for clutch centre, then I can totally split the crank n maybe I'll see where it's from. 15 years on my mates bench n everything looks well up to now. I know what your thinking " how can all be well if they fell outta bottom of crank?". Yep that's what I thought but fingers crossed

Hey up all, Just pick up my old GS block I had as a young un. Have a frame in the pipeline. Forks and wheels planned out. I know how scarce 1000 tanks are but can anyone steer me in the right direction for tank and bodywork please? Regards Tree
