Yay!!!! Finally put the engine back together today.
I drained it down and removed the alternator cover last week to sort the oil leak, and decided to respray it whilst off. The plan was to prep and spray last sat, then following a trip to Pro-twins, spend sun putting it back together, job done..........
Er, no! As with all the best plans, it didn't get painted on sat, got all the new seals, etc. though. Then spent sunday servicing a friends Aprilia! (Don't ask!!!!!)

SO it's now done. Also rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder, including a new fangled quad seal. It's amazing what a non leaking clutch feels like!!!!!

Whilst at it I've also fitted some renthal MX bars too. But had to drop the forks in the yolks to clear the bars, only 8.65mm and seeing as the rears jacked up as high as possible already it might feel a little slower to turn. Think I'll have a look round for some spacers to raise the bars a touch.

Well, thats it for now, off to Rio next saturday, so the MV tail will have to wait till next year!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! :P
