Re: oh dear seized up
with reference to checking valve clearence i didnt think it necceseray as i hadnt touched the valves at all on the strip down so thought all valves would have been operating correctly, may have been a bad oversite of mine.

oh dear seized up
ive had probs with engine , bolt sheered in exhaust , needed to remove head to have rebored, put head back on , didnt alter timing at all just reset as before, when bike was running seemed slightly out so checked timing, seemed a tooth out on front cams so altered and tried again. started fine but g...
Re: timing
guy at bike place in thorne told me to run it a bit as smoke might just be because it has been stood a bit , it was mainly coming off the exhaust so i did and it seems ok , but not runing right so im going to check if altering timing a tooth might make it better.
Re: timing
all i set with the timong was to the marks on the crank, didnt take the valves or anything out, just put back as i had taken off, ive run it and it doesnt seem too bad now, maybe a lot of the smoke just off exhaust , does sem a little off with the timing though so might need moving a tooth on the ca...
Re: timing
thing is i never did anything to the valves or anything, the bike ran ok before so i just re oved the lot in one lump and didnt alter anything, which is why i wasnt thinking of it being anything down that avenue.
timing
had to have engins stripped because of a sheered exhaust stud, all been built back up and set timing to manual, bike fired up but its getting very hot on the front exhaust, is this because timing not set accuratly . any tips much appreciated
