Big Boy Back On The Road Again
« on: September 09, 2007, 18:18:49 »
Following BB spitting out his dummy on the Bala trip (02/09/07), he's back on the road again.

Whilst taking everything off to get to the timing belt, it was as good a time as any to check everything else over......, so I ended up replacing...., timing belt, tensioner and guide, new water pump, new radiator (recore), 6 pushrods, two rockers.

Thanks to andy god for the assistance and Lozza for the cakes and mr and mrs mudknight for just popping in :wink:

Now to arrange a green lane trip to run him in :wink:

Nice work guys - that should save you from more work later on!  8)

Any ideas why the last belt went or is it down to 'one o' them things'?

Cheers
