British Bikes / Triumph crankcase engine stamping
« on: April 04, 2023, 06:56:06 PM »
A while ago, I bought a replacement engine for my classic Triumph motorbike from a reputable shop but there is no number on the engine crankcase.

I have been advised to obtain a Triumph engine stamp with which I could stamp the crankcase before adding the letters and numbers. I have not been able to find such a stamp on ebay or anywhere else and would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction to get a Triumph emblem stamp.

Secondly, if I cannot get a Triumph stamp, then I will have to stamp the crankcase with the appropriate letters and numbers without any under-stamping with the Triumph emblem.

My Haynes manual has a photograph of the engine number which has no under-stamping without any Triumph logo stamping whatsoever - this being a T120 engine number DU78964.

Does anyone know if there are many examples of classic Triumphs that  didn't have the logo stamped on the crankcase under the numbers and letters as in above Haynes manual? Was this the norm in other words to not have a Triumph logo under-stamp?

Thanks

British Bikes / Triumph front wheel offset
« on: July 31, 2022, 06:06:02 PM »
I have rebuilt the front wheel on my 1970 pre-oil in frame Triumph TR6 650 twin with new rim and spokes.

The wheel offset is supposed to be zero with the wheel sitting centrally between the forks and with the centre of the front rim in line with the axis of the steering head.

Having fitted the forks I find that the clearance between the wheel and forks differs by an average of 3.2mm between the left and right hand fork sides.

I would be greatful if anyone could let me know whether I have to correct this fault or is the small amount of out of alignment in this case acceptable?

I have a Triumph 650 twin c1970 and want to clean out the sludge trap in the crankshaft which is on the timing side of the crank. How do I separate the crankshaft from the right hand crankcase?
