So, finished cleaning the gasket remnants off:
Some of my trusty threebond around each crank case seam as directed:
Locating pin in and gasket on, and it should be nicely lined up with the oil gallery:
And alternator cover in place ready to bolt on:
It's actually a bit of a challenge getting the cover on without disturbing the gasket as the gasket needs to stay lined up with the oil gallery and the stator has a tendency to get attracted to the magnets which makes it a little tricky.
And bolted on with my nice shiny new allen head stainless steel bolts from Z1 and with anti sieze on the threads:
I also gave it a quick once over with the polishing cloth to try to get rid of my greasy finger prints too (still too clean Charlie ).
And that's pretty much it for tonight, although I did start working a bit more on the gasket remnants on the right cover as that's the next one to go on.
And I just had a thought... my closest dealer is in Windsor which is a flood risk suburb... man I hope they don't go under and I hope my parts are able to make it safely there for Saturday! Would be a real shame if I get time to work on it and they're not there...
