It's getting that good service - valve clearances today/tomorrow - depending on how long it takes to get shims if needed.
New coil on order, new plugs ready to go in.
What was interesting, I couldn't get my plug socket in with the rocker cover on, the sealing gasket around the plug holes was swollen on both outside plugs - didn't bother trying the middle ones. Looks like they haven't been done in donkeys years!
The invoice I pictured was from 'two wheels only' in London. My hesitation in posting that earlier was that there is no traceability of the parts from the bike leaving them to me buying it. Could someone have changed new bits for old? (I doubt it but you never know).
I have a feeling it will be OK after giving it a major service.
I may need to source the coolant pipes that bolt to the top of the head and run through the rocker cover as the ones on mine are badly corroded and not sealing well to the rubber hoses.
