Penis Rotor
GT Godfather!
Well I screwed up magnificently today. One of the bikes I'd identified as needing the cam recall was trailered up to me, (On my insistence as I didn't want to risk the tappets going to shit!). No worries, Importer had most of the parts, I ordered in the tappets themselves from two other sources so I had a 'Spare' set on the shelf.
Bike arrives, hook into it for what should be a simple three hour job. Get to the LH cylinder cam chain tensioner, slip the screwdriver in between the blade and the cahain and cheerfully say to the customer who is watching. "I know this looks brutal but this is how you do it!"
Famous last words eh! The tensioner shatters!
FUCK!
Head off, cylinder off. Where does the locator bolt for the blade install from? The FUCKING BELL HOUSING!!! :roll:
So today I spent taking the entire powerplant out of an 8VG that came in for the cam swap!
Only good news is all the bits are available, in stock at the importer, (Just for all of those people who continually pour shit on JSG.) and I've double ordered from Mario too just to make sure!
Motive unit is out. Job should be completed by early next week and I'll bung the owner a bottle of Irish and take his bike back to him, cap in hand.
Yes, I screwed up badly. But at least I'm willing to come clean. I didn't sell the bike without the recall work having been done!!!! :roll:
