Got further with the front hubs. I took them into work to press the bearings in but the press is pretty basic and wasn't up to the task. Plan B needed! I managed with to press them in with my dads old hydraulic press and the old bearing shell in a few minutes
I didn't think to bring a set of circlip pliers so cant lock in the bearing and press in the spindle but should have access to more tools tomorrow. Hard bit is done now though
Dropped in to see how the engine build is getting on the way down to see family for the weekend. So glad I did as I was able to do some work in putting it together and help check a few bits.
So, first build Andy did turned up that the valves got dangerously close to the pistons. He had to machine larger pockets in the top to give the clearance needed and we had to double check everything. We did one cylinder
Also took the time to setup the vernier pulleys according to the Toda spec sheets. These cams are awesome build quality and the vernier pulleys are a work of art!
No clearance issues anymore! Build can now continue!
