Looks like the flywheel bolts are 8.8? You really need higher strength 10.9 bolts in that application. 8.8 are fine for the ring gear though.
Great eye Charlie, like you thought the bag of bolts I was using are all 8.8, I bought a box each of 50 - 25mm and 20mm - 10.9 high strength bolts from my local bolt supply shop. Tossing out the old 8.8's this evening!Thanks again for letting me know, shearing flywheel bolts would not have made for a good day.
Except they won't know what that date means. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Did you paint the tools used in this project all blue, or are they purchased somewhere all like that? Some (most) seem specifically to Moto Guzzi, is that the case?

Jim: make sure that what ever you put on the piston crown is near the same diameter as the piston, if not you could push what ever through the crown, also be sure that the piston can travel, this way you are not bending a con rod. also warm the jug with a soft heat a couple of times before attempting. I have used this method on a number or Brit bikes to good effect. DonG
