Oi, mush! Why have you singled me out? ☺jensen wrote:Hi,
My feelings weren't hurt, and there are different views from different people how to do things.
One isn't always better or worse then another one. You asked for help, got a few methods, picked the method that suits you best, and the next thing is believing that's the right way because Steve says so ?
I learned a lot in the past, one thing I learned that using brute forces / impact destroys things in the long run.
Did you noticed that Steve has to rebuild his engine because it's making more and more noise ?
That this happened while he was riding on it and did the maintenance? Did you noticed his rear tire (thanks davo) ?
Do you own a classic bike ? and did you put many miles on it ? enough to see how good you restored it ? (or not). Not many people here on the forum do restore a bike and ride it long distances.
I only take these people serious and listen very careful when they say something, because these people know, the rest has to be proven yet,

My motor's covered about 33,000 miles (x1.61 for km); the little ends have been rattling since purchase of this particular project; and it drops oil like an old Triumph. And the crankcases need stripping back -- they've been painted in the past; and the side casings need painting -- they're naked! And it's all part of the fun plan.
You're glazing over!
