Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

NOW we're talking! Nice work ...
You mean to tell me you're doing a complete tear down and you haven't downloaded a factory service manual from BassCliff?
On your valve adjustment, get a spreadsheet from Steve before you begin, And swap those shims.
Nice work so far. Hope to see you this summer

I got all those things when I got this bike.OK I'm not that sure how to even use a spreadsheet to be honest but I will give it a try.No passport no trips to the US I'm afraid,don't get me started on this.:hand:
Thanks SB and psy,I'm enjoying it to.

Covers on the engine with the SS Allen set I bought.The stator and clutch are gasket ed and tight.Points and counter cover aren't as they have to come off.Did the valve check,intakes are fine.Three where .003 with #1 at .002.However the outside exhausts are .006 and the insides are .004,I need to do the outsides for sure.May leave the insides as they are close enough.Taking Rob(azr)up on his offer to show me the tricks of doing these.

The outside exhausts at .06 are just fine. I would leave all 4 exhaust valves just as they are myself.

Greg, are you missing a screw in the stator cover on purpose?

OK I actually LOOKED at BassCliff/Matchless's zip tie PDF instead of dithering at it.Looked easy enough,took a few tries but I got it though the plug hole on the outside cylinders no problem.The insides I think my tie was to shortThen I realised with no pipes I could put a tie though the ports.Feed the info through Steve's handy dandy spreadsheet(stopped dithering on that to) and I can transfer 1 of the 2.75 shims to make #1 good to go.Do need a 2.85 and 2 2.75 shims to be good.

Got all the old bearings and head races out.Was going to start a new thread but did a search instead.Found a few answers.Mig welding the head races was out.With the engine in I'm not taking the frame to work.So I dremaled though the races and bashed them out.A bit crude but it got the job done.
