Man, you are getting close to start-up! I like those plug caps a lot. Classy things they are. You'll have to post a pic with them on. Are you retired? You must be putting in 5-6 hour days. Great job! ;-T
I wish I was retired! Lol. I usually get time to work on the bike from 7:00pm to midnight. Tomorrow I will have all day though. If my cam chain tensioner comes in, I will be ready to run by tomorrow afternoon. I hope it gets here!
I actually had a dream about your V7 4v! I guess I'm looking forward to startup too. :D
A little thinking outside the box. Nice. ;-T Of course, this whole project has been such an exercise. Seems like you do a good job of thinking it all through and getting it right. I like the solid mounts for the intakes you made up and the feed lines.Here's to hoping the package arrives today. :BEER:
Very cool!What side covers on your bike?Ken
Yep, looks the business all right. Nice job of safety wiring.. ;-T
Looking good, this and Chuck's are proper projects, parked together they'd completely confuse the train spotters.But without being contriteLockwiring ex nuts now is premature, like head gaskets, copper or multi layered ex gaskets will compress with heat cycle and should be retorqued after running (but cold)That's why you've seen loose ones, not unusual just never serviced since assemblyThey won't need wiring then but can't hurt, if left as is, gasket could leak after a while or even crack header.Ah ok, thanks for that. It's a good point that they will need re torquing eventually. I hadn't thought of that.
Here's to hoping that package shows tomorrow!🍻Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes!! I will be watching for the mail for sure!! The tensioner I got was a used one from TLM. I also ordered a new one from Harpers, but it is going to be a couple of weeks for them to get it from Italy. The used one was supposed to be five days...not too bad...
I'd send you the one out of the Lario, but it would probably take 5 days to get there.. didn't realize that small block parts were so scarce. I guess there is no need for replacement tensioners, though.. they'll run forever. I'll betcha Eish's would have one, though.
That's a good point! I'll give Joe a call today...
Or, maybe check with Ed Milich @ Guzzipower? Bet he has one laying around.
The tension(er) is driving all of us crazy. :'(We want to know what this bugger will do. ;-T
Whew Man!! I know! I want to hear her fire up! I will film it...post it up....hope she doesn't blow!! Lol
