Hi everyone,
Some real general Bike chat that hope makes the grade.
I'm diving in replacing the cambelts on my old Gold Wing.
Doing it the modern way with a laptop reading all the old boys How-To write ups.
I've come across the belt tensioners. The How-to's say if there is any play in the tension pulleys, then replace.
There is sideway play in one, enough for me to want to replace.
However being water cooled I've needed to remove the radiator, therefore drain the coolant. Then once I found I needed more parts, I hastily put the radiator back on to seal the cooling system albeit without any anti-freeze/water.
I will now need to wait for the parts to arrive.
Because I have no garage, I'm gonna bring it in the house much to the disapproval of everyone else!
Here in lys my question: I would like to remove the radiator again so I have space to work on the cambelts and let it sit inside until the parts arrive. Is it ok to have the block empty of coolant/antifreeze? I am more assuming I should seal the inlet/outlets up, but what is the best way to do so.
Thanks for you help and I've attached some really average photos because these topics are boring without them.
Thanks.

A mate an I have bought karts and are looking for other people in the hobby.
I've got a Mike Wilson ex champ shifter kart with CT110.

Edit: Tiny pic for fred:
^ The primera the inlaws now own, Angus Fogg wrote it off warming up the tires, puhuhuhuhu.
Remember being there for that, no one understood how you could roll a primera let alone in practice i believe it was?

Hey man congrats an buying a NZ icon.
I have a qwarm... those steels it came on. i assume they are 5x108???
Wanna sell them cheep?, have torana with the same pattern and the torana is in desperate need of some new feet.
-
Cheers for the showing of help but no worries anymore, the guy has tools etc so will just scam his. Thanks all. Will toot horn as i leave wellington to signal thanks to all Welly GC's
-
i could possibly help and bring my toolbox , no way in hell they are going anywhere without me haha , hit me up closer to the time though
Understand completely. Yeah will pm all who could help bit closer, cheers everyone
-
yeah man that would be choice. I Dont expect mean tools, i probably wouldnt lend out my good stuff either. Will pm you closer to date if thats cool
-
Has anyone got a tool box i could borrow on the 7th of November in the Wellington area. I know lending your babies is a hard thing to accept but im in a bit of a pickle. I'm arriving in wellington to pick up my new car. Im also gonna buy an old bedford motor but dont want it all so the guy has said im free to come and attack it and take what i want and he'll dump the rest though i wont have anytools. Beer/bourbon (for the hard cunts) will be provided as well as a hand shake and most likely a yarn too. I promise to be very careful and grateful. Shit if your not doing anything more than welcome to come along and see a bedford motor come to the forces of man kind. Thanks.
Edit: I think its over Porirua way.

with but in a lightish blue colour, possibly a bad pick to use because of black?? along with whitewall spats
looooowwwwww
plus artists impressions of your choice if need be
-
Could you not modify it at all and just flip it over???? put the hitch on the underside of where its mounted now and just fit the thing over, will look exactly like the one being dragged by beema provided the top of your tyre is higher than the base of the trailer. would make sence to do this if thats all it takes??? and then just make sides for the underside of the trailer base when up....down...... when its...... get it?
Edit: shit unless i have been under a rock and this is actually the way your intending on doing it. My apologies

Fuck completely forgot about the 5x108, been a bastard to get rims for them as thats the same as torana, though this means could roll hubcaps, chrome rim bands and whitewalls on commy haha
You goin on holiday?
Sweet whip man. Change nothing but rims and ride height.
haha yeah bro im picking this to be my joke of the holiday(vacation). Thats what im thinking its nice enough to be choice with just slight rim altering and 5LaMm3D. Pretty chuffed with it, cant wait to see it in the flesh haha
-
yeah man cheers hopefully shes a little pearl. Just keen on the blue interior and square gauges haha
If you talking about your wagon in your signiture looks tops. Where do you find those 5x108 steels, im complete newb and finding hard-to-find wheels.

Oh man tempting haha but wouldnt be a good look to come home from uni with a new car and a new motor in the boot without even having it for a day. What kind of mission is it to put a 202 in anyway???
-
Fuck it bought one today, pick it up in a while due to it being in capital city and me not/in exam time
How much for said 202 and 4 speed bro???
-
Im down canterbury anyway so hills aren't an issue at all. was amazed by how flat it all is/even more flat now (quake joke)
Plus im coming from an old diesel truck so again speed aint an issue since ive never been used to it. Might pick one up then if the moneys right. Pretty much just want the blue interior and square tach and speedo for making me smile each time i get in
-
is it just the old "its shit because of the good sixes you can get" type bagging that goes with them?
Are there still plenty of then around for taking a part and getting bored?

Thanks for that.
My home is the issue in everything you said.
1. old suburb meaning storm water & sewerage somewhat the same thing!
2. Old house means its colder inside that out (freezing)
3. Old house means wooden floors so no B-outs on carpet.
Will bring in tomorrow and remove radiator again and cover the inlets & outlets. I've already drained the entire system.
Thanks.
