The rocker arm pin oil passages certainly had a far amount of what I believe has been described as small rubber bits from the suspected timing chain rubber tensioner. Not enough bits to starve the oil entirely as the pin and related surfaces appear fine. Do all the rings look like this under the rocker arm support?? I haven’t taken the front cover off the engine to see what remains of the timing chain tensioner or if it was retrofitted.Any comments or suggestions welcome!!
Like I wrote above, I wouldn't reuse those Sureflex clutch plates, even if they weren't oil soaked.
Which clutch plates would you suggest? Is it a good idea to upgrade to the 4mm spline??
Another day, another part to source/purchase...I posted here my concerns about the iron sleeves that were installed in the cylinders > https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=102720.0 and my decision to purchase a Gilardoni cylinder kit. I didn't need the kit just yet but Rick at MG Cycle suggested that I pick up a kit somewhere (they were out of stock) as he felt those may be hard to come by as the manufacture seems not as interested to produce them any longer due to dwindling demand (how many chrome cylinders are out there?). I have a kit on the way from Scrambler Cycle.
That being said, some of the bearings are very cheep, I normally get the input and output bearings for under $15aud each, the needle roller and the 3 piece barrel bearing are somewhat more expensive......
