I do have a set of Aerox forks and wheels but I really wanted to keep the originality with the drum brakes and steel wheels etc...I do like the look of the Aerox forks tho...

So did you just double up on the base gasketS? what did you do about the squish ? The shop that sold me the kit said it’s ready to run out the box regarding squish ect ect it’s not a problem if not tho how did you get round it?

I have lots of base gaskets kicking around. So used two from another kit.
With the transfer ports flush it was a fraction over 1mm squish, which worked ok. I tried running it as it came, but it wasn't as good.

Got some satin black on the grab Rail and side case. the kick start I used Ford midnight sky, old Sierra sapphire Cosworth colour I think

[yambws]

I want to stick with the original air box mainly as I don’t want it to loud so hope this filter may be a bit more free flowing

[yambws]

Can’t do much to the engine at the mo so started messing with panels a little today, test fitting ect..

[yambws]

Few added bits and bobs to aid the engine rebuild

[yambws]

So I had a few hours free today.. bearings and crank are in and cases together I copied 90gtvert’s technique except I used a heat gun rather that the oven, worked a treat also went with 1184 in the end as seen in one of his YouTube video I liked the way it stuck to the cases all be it a little runny crank just needed a little tweak with the crank puller at the end

[yambws]

So I’m test fitting the cylinder atm could do with some advice please. Two scenarios 2 base gaskets =Level port with piston crown and less squish




Or one base gasket =ports a fraction Bellow piston crown and more squish unable to measure squish atm this is all eyeballed at the mo what do you guys think ?

[yambws]

I guess what I’m saying is what’s the lesser of two Evils ? I realise once torqued down it will pull the barrel down more

[yambws]

If I were to use two base gaskets does it matter what order they go? I have 1 card 1
metal gasket

It looks like two BG will be perfect after torqueing the cylinder down. You can put spacers on the studs, then the head bolts and sung them down a bit to get a better look. I would not fully torque the nuts down without the head. I broke the cylinder one time doing that.
