When l stripped this engine a while back l found a shim behind the main bearing on the bevel side something I'd never come across before!
Now I'm currently on with building it back up it has become apparent that it was in there for a reason as the bevels hit the main bearing!
So by the looks of it , it was done at the factory to overcome some badly machined cases.
Its all sorted now by simply grinding a few tho of the the bevel gears themselves.
Like I keep saying there isn't two engine the same!

Something a bit different this week!
Not very often I work on belt bike's. Its maybe something that I might have to get a bit more into in the future.
This one is my own bike that I've had nearly 9 years and not even rode it!
Its all back together again after being in pieces for quite a number of years.
Its now been delivered to its new owner to get some pleasure out of riding it unlike me that seems to never find the time to get out and enjoy motorcycles anymore.

First start up today for the Ducati 250 Desmo!
Started up 1st kick, tick over was a little high due to the throttle cable being a bit tight but other than that all good.
This is the first time its ran since the big end let go in the 90's.
Body work and tank is of to be painted Monday then it will be reunited back to its owner to enjoy it.

Back at it again today after a bit of time off with the wife!
Back onto the parade bike engine, just a mild tune for this one with a 173A cam.
New rod kit, high compression piston and better setup.
It should be a nice engine once it's done.

Well the job does have it's occasionally bonuses!
Had a nice test ride out this afternoon on a customers MV 350 Electronica must say it's a bike I've always like the looks off.
And it didn't disappoint, what a stunning bike it is too.

Due to current back log of work at present I'm currently not taking on any more jobs until it is cleared!
At this point I will decide whether I will continue doing this as it has become to much at the moment.
I appreciate that customers want there jobs doing yesterday but I only have one pair of hands!
I'm not prepared to cut corners and everyone's job is done to the same high standards.
Thanks for your understanding.

That's another one done! Been a bit of a labour of love this one as its had a hard life in the past!
Despite all off that it come up like new again, we have put a slightly bigger cam in it from standard so it should go a bit better than a standard engine.
Time now for a bit of "time out" as it's been non stop since the New Year!

One Race engine done and out the door in time for the practice at Darley Moor last Friday.
Turned out a lot more work than we thought this one as there was no real settings done to work too before!
Basically it was start again ! Turn out very nice in the end tho, here's a few pictures along the way.

This is one of those jobs that I don't particularly like doing!
The thought of the cylinder head fly across the workshop as it come out the chuck on the lathe!
Thankfully all good!
This is a widecase cylinder head that has had to have the squish machined out for a 77.0mm race piston.
It has come out as perfect as you could get , which I'm well happy about.
