Not again!! Cam Chain Tensioner Spring
#13
Big Grin
03 engine installed and officially back on the road as of Tuesday last week Smile
Came out of work on Wednesday and pissed coolant all over the floor on start up. Lower coolant pipe on oiler cooler from old engine fractured. Got it home and started to undo the jubilee clip, pipe sheared off completely :'(
No Gen 1 oil coolers anywhere to be found, but got one from a 2000 R1 which is supposed to be the same. Turned up Friday am. Smile
Its not the same, its shorter. Oil cooler bolt too long by about 15mil. :\
Popped in to work on Sat morn and cut bolt down, then filed a shank in to it, by hand, for the 5 or 6 mil of bolt protruding from oil cooler that wasn't threaded. 2 hours later, job done, fitted, running like a dream Big Grin
Manual cam chain tensioner working luverly. Big Grin Big Grin
Tools used; everything in my tool boxes plus my old skateboard from 30+ years ago in lieu of a trolley jack :eek
Sometimes, weird shit from the past still comes in handy :rollin

Its better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake.
