I have removed any casting roughness from the exhaust port.

New piston ready to go in - not surprising the bike has trouble moving me!

New and old pistons together.

Next job is to put the engine back together- which I will try soon.

Now then, I was reading something recently about putting the top end back on, aparently if you put a circlip into the piston, put the piston with the rings lined up inside the barrel, then drop the barrel down onto the con rod and small end bearing, then push the gudgen pin through, then the other circlip, it's meant to be easier than dropping the barrel onto the piston, whilst trying to keep both rings lined up on the locating pins blindly,

yes indeed NEV and place the pin in the freezer...and the barrel with piston in the oven beforehand

Aye, and that

Thanks for the tips - I will try the piston trick as its hard enough to get the piston in on the bench, the old circlip stabbed me hence the plaster on the thumb.

Nice to see the compulsory restoration "plaster" on the finger there! Keep up the good work :thumb:

Whats happened today? Put the new piston in and engine back together - bit of a fiddle but not to bad, and I remembered the gaskets!

Nice shiny new exhaust, not that simple though, the thread is a tad bigger than the old one so will not fit - arse.

DSCF8307.jpg

After a bit of thinking decided to cut both threaded bits off.

And weld the old one onto the new pipe.

That should do for the moment.
