Not much to report today.

Refitted the timing chain cover and the pumps, after cleaning out the oil feed tube with some very handy little brushes I have.


Currently waiting for this nut to turn up.


And refitted the primary chain cover



Obviously all that took me about 2 hours of faffing about and dithering, as per usual

I reckon that, in a pinch, I now probably could strip and rebuild the engine over night.... if I had to.... but it's not something I'm going to try. :D

Fingers crossed that nut will turn up tomorrow and I can get out for a spin and see how it's behaving after the clutch rebuild.  I'm fully aware that it's down on power and compression, but I want to actually ride the thing a bit more before stripping it down again, hey - it'll keep me busy over winter again. ;)
