if taking out whole package does this mean there are 4 engine mounts, 2 at rear door and other 2 access from under seat area which mount hydro pump? Then all comes out together? any other tips in removing all in one? What sort of lifting device do you guys use , looking at it the 2 anchor points...

no change. took breather of inlet blocked it off, there was a fair amount of pressure coming out of rocket cover , does this indicate blowby?

hi tazza, yes engine glow counts down and engine starts straight away, runs very smooth, sounds like nothing wrong at all, doesn't seem to be down on power, inner filter has always remained intact, this problem seemed to come about very quickly not something that has been compounding, no...

ok, now we have problems!! since latest oil change , 15hrs ago I have gone through 3 litres of oil, as previously stated significant blue smoke when cold and settles down once warm/hot. Wouldnt think that much oil would go past valve seals?I have also discovered that wing nut on air filter...

thanks Tazza , much appreciated, now i am stuck with brake pedal assembly, it has been off machine for ages and cant remember how it goes back together, particuarly the braket with the spring ?? I can see the long rod goes from arm to brake pedal , but how does the bracket with spring fit into...

ok I have replaced the top plate with brake blocks attached and the discs still seem to flap about, it appears to me that it is possible for the edge of the chain to hit or even catch the edge of the brake disc, maybe this is the clunking i have been hearing , i see a large cir clip on one side...
