[fatblokeonbandit]

pulling motor from bandit as it started rattling and feeling strange at Casle Coombe last week...

 

Fek my old boots!! that explains a lot

 

 

 

 

 

[Duckndive]

Oppps lucky 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Hopefully Clive…..

With luck the nut and washer plopped into the sump and didn’t get tangled up with anything else.

anyway swapping engines from teapot to bandit before Angelsey in 2 weeks….. I’ll look at it later.

[wraith]

That could of been nasty, hope all is well inside.

[fatblokeonbandit]

This was one I put together from bits of 4 engines as a spare…. It ended up in my bandit as bandit motor was in teapot….

 

bottom end came from a power screen engine I bought for peanuts, can’t remember having alternator off, just looked in sump cleaned strainer and put it back together…..81mm barrels, set or second hand wiseco 1216 pistons with one set or rings missing, spare mr upperton  head Gsxr1100 cams, it went surprisingly well for a bitza!,

probably should have checked the alternator gear.

hopefully nuts and washer are in sump

[clivegto]

Not good. Ones I've seen have usually been punchy on the edge of the threads to stop the nut coming undone ?

[Dezza]

A very good result (hear me out). If the nut or washer had got in somewhere and locked the back wheel at speed it could have all ended in tears or worse. But it didn't .

Yup hopefully they just plopped into the sump and are sat there

I'm surprised something didn't jam up !  . If you need any bits drop me a pm I've got a  couple of motors in bits  .

I once found a lost piston and rings behind the clutch basket After years, I'm happy. Until this adventure, I had one Suzuki. As a consequence, the engine was replaced with 1157 in teapot. Now I have four and a pile of parts
