Stupid colour coding!!!!
850 Destruction - dablik - 21-06-2019
Dunno why they could'nt just size them, prolly to simple for the luddites.
850 Destruction - dapleb - 21-06-2019
Good info though dabbers!! Have never put anything other than the bucket what came out back in so never even gived it a thought.

I'm wondering if the colour coding is only really meant for help with building the engwin in the factory ? and mayhaps why ya need to remember where each bucket goes when ya do work on the top.

Prolly matey but you would expect them to remain the same as from factory,unless of course they got mixed up at some point, i need to find a sucky thing to plop on cos i wanna see if they spin fine in situ, one of the buckets feels a bit loose which i would imagine is not the best scenario ? and then their gonna wear over time anyhoo.
850 Destruction - Studley Ramrod - 21-06-2019
Serial worrier you are matey.
  Everything wears over time...apparently. I wouldn't be concerned about it, but I know you're wired up differently to me. lolÂ
Wonder if the paint blobs refer to summat else like the camshaft bearings ?
850 Destruction - dablik - 21-06-2019
:dunno:Â Na i'm going with buckets, Red and Blue as they mostly corrosponded
Â
Anyhoo all mine are labeled up to go back where they came from, but even if they got swapped i guess they would wear in, if i had to replace a bucket ie a new one it's gonna do the same.

No wear limit for buckets so difficult to know if they're within tolerance or not eh ?
Â
Anyhoos, soon be time to start building.

Yep some are a more firm/snug fit for want of a better description, rebuild hopefully starting in a cuplamore/3-20 weeks, will have the head skimmed, the barrells will go in to be measured and honed/rebored !! and crankshaft checked for runout.
Â
Pulled these 2 hollow grub screws out today (oilway) the other for the output shaft, which were a little loose, i expect vibrated over time, i assume they are meant to be screwed all the way home seeing how their hollow anyway, can anyone comment.

Haynes gives it a mention but cant find it now, i'm guessing the point of these is to be able to have access to bog brushing the oilways..

Gave the bucket bores a quick polish with turtle wax of all things
as it's mild compared to other polishes using a felt dremel type mop, got me bucket which had difficulty to fit but one still really grabby on the inlet side, tried one of me old ones which coincidently has no colour or it's worn off and it slides much nicer :dunno:Â
Also..........fixed it

Imagine the hourly rate required to make it viable to do a proper job!! It has to be a labour of love at this stage dabbers.
Noubt wrong with slow. You don't have a customer waiting on you. No need to hurry/bodge.
