Just when I though the mechanical gods were cutting me some slack with the local seals, I went to reassemble the rocker assembly only to find out why this head was in the parts bin. The thread was completely stripped on one of the bolts.
One with a dowel no less. Yay.
Things ground to a halt, as I didn't have any helicoils.
Bike night Tuesdays are great. And the infamous Seedy Al turned up:
Ooosh, M8x1.25 here we come.
A quick helicoil and we were back together
Timing belts are brand spankers even though they look old. Just got a bit filthy from the trip plus engine disassembly and cleaning.
Believe it or not, I am cleaning it up as I go. The engine was filthy, and the paint has come off in places and the alloy is stained dark. So can never get it looking mint without a spraybomb. Orders of magnitude better than what it was though.The engine even does a complete 720 degrees without binding. So I must have done something right?
Just need to set the valves then the covers can go back on. Tonights job.
Back like 100 years ago rebuilt my Z1000 I ended up just Helicoiling every thing on the motor I just couldn't trust that old aluminium (It was only 11ish years old then)

My Dad had a book he wrote on my wiring, I'll need a bit of time to find it again but can provide you some pics if you get stuck. Others building up 808s/3s found it really useful. Feel free to PM if needed and I'll find it
Gidday Rotorhoe, any luck "finding it"? (I "PM'd" ya!)

The owner got some RX3 diagrams, after going through these I see there is a special wiper relay! no wonder I couldn't work it out, I was about to invent some multi relay device to get it to work and it looks like that's what I'll have to do now as that relay is awol!

I'm in the middle of a complete rewire using the original wiring that previous owner complexly removed with a lot of cutting some bits are missing and I'm having issues with the wiper motor wiring particularly the "park" If anyone has a wiring diagram I could use. copy , buy, would be really helpful.

So no one has any experience with radar detectors?
I had a uniden back in the day before laser was a thing, I realised it was a wast of time when I got pinged by a mobile camera, the cam flashed me then the detector went off !
