Re: mostly nonesense: stainless steel stuff
Cant pick the buggers up with a magnet :x and with fourteen side case washers to deal with, it can add a lot of time. Smallframe head nut washers can be a pain to put on with the motor still in if you can't use a magnet. Saw some cadmium plated stuff today at the platers, looked good. The man said y...

Re: rattle in neutral and clutch
Try taking the rubber kickstart bump stop out until then. It'll let the kickstart go up a hair and may solve the prob.

Re: rattle in neutral and clutch
Quick tip.
When I'm putting a trans. together, I usally check shim clearance withouth the dowels or christmas tree fitted. Make taking it apart and puting it back together again a whloe lot quicker and easier.

Re: Strange noise coming from the kickstart shaft

Re: Fork Link Bolt Removal
Do you lot have PB Blaster over there? It's an excellent de-siezer, loads better than WD40. Do not let it sit on white paint for more than a few seconds, it will get sucked into the paint and cannot be removed.
Drastic measures on that fork cutting and welding. Got a picture of the finished result?

Re: Head keeps coming loose on SR200 smallblock
Agreed. Can't pick the little buggers up with a magnet.tony wrote:Are you using stainless nuts or studs? If you are then bin em. They have a different frictional quality to ordinary steel. I hate stainless fasteners grrrrr
Back to the original question: Your studs aren't loose are they?
