British Bikes / Felt washers
« on: March 02, 2015, 06:43:28 PM »
Me again.
I have to fit two felt washers on each end of the flywheels crank shafts as they come out of the engine cases one goes on the tapered end which fits between the crank case and the cush drive, and the other goes between the timing drive gear and the timing case bush that the shaft goes into
Any body got any idea as to the thickness of these washers
Again the bike is the BSA L29 350

British Bikes / BSA L29 Bearing problems
« on: December 08, 2009, 04:12:08 PM »
Hi All,

I'm in the process of rebuilding the engine on a 1929 BSA 350cc Sloper. I have two problems so far

1) I cannot see how to remove the out race of the crank shaft roller bearing nearest the casing it sits almost flush with the end of crank case its self, there are two small what I would describe as drill holes partly made on either side of the casting which allow a very small gap between the casting and the bottom of the bearing outer race I can only guess it's there for some sort of extracter. Has anybody got any suggestions on how to tackle it's removal with out using heat.

2) I have managed to get hold of a bearing to replace the one mentioned earlier, unfortunatly it require's two slots about 1/8" wideto be machined in front of the iner race bearing holder to match up with the drive dog on the out side of the engine this dog has two small tags on it which marry into the slots of the bearing front face. I have been told its virtually impossable to machine mill these slots into the hardended surface of the bearing race face. Is this true or are their any tricks of the trade. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi,

I need some information regarding a rebuild which is in progress on a 1929 350cc ohv sloper engine the parts book shows two felt washers, one on each of the two crank shafts I think on the outer side of each of the cases on the strip down they are found to be missing, any one any ideas as to the importance of these items plus is their any where you can get them or use alternatives?.

What is the best sealant to use on joining the two engine cases together and do I need to make a gasket

British Bikes / Sloper engine rebuild
« on: September 17, 2007, 05:16:30 PM »
Hi Guys
need to pick your brains again the drive side of my 1929 350 slopper crank pin shows on the parts manul as having two bearings with a spacer, these are located in the housing. When I stripped the engine it had two roller bearings on this side however the parts boook shows that it should have 1 roller and one needle bearing the needle bearing is located nearest the fly wheel.
I can get replacments however the suplier has asked me what type of needle bearing i need as there appears to be 4 or five differnent manufactured types.
Any one got an answer

« on: August 27, 2007, 07:53:00 PM »
Hi all

I have just started to re-assemble my 1929 350 slopper engine after some major surgery As i started to put together the two flywheels onto the new crank shaft I started to wonder if they should be balanced plus how do you know if the fly wheels are equally facing each other Any thoughts as to the right way
