British Bikes / Converting 1967 T100R from 500cc to 650cc
« on: March 21, 2007, 04:46:04 AM »
Can anyone tell what I would need to do to convert my dead 500cc - 650. Will the cylinders fit into the crank?

My crankcase is 8 bolt version.

Would 650 conrods fit onto a 500 crank?

Thanks in advance.
Colin

Sounds like the inner clutch has not been mated passed the woodruff key. That will give you the 10mm.

Well Thats very nice of you Hugh....but I am a stickler for trusting someone to do the job right........So who else could I trust to do the job right......So I guess I will be calling you in the morning.

I have to get the head off 1st and then the barrel to see what has caused the siezure....And oh yes is she siezed....You can stand upright on the kick start and stay there.

I did the full Oil change and clean. I also flushed the engine Oil and replaced.

She ran great this morning for the 20 mile ride to work and on the way home this evening started to lose power and get tight so I stopped. As soon as I pulled th clutch in the engine stopped dead.

So will see what I am faced with. I will call you AM tomorrow if thats OK?

Thanks
Colin.

Could someone tell the best process for getting the forks aligned so the handle bars are straight as mine are slightly pointing to the right.

Kind regards
Colin.

British Bikes / Inserting Push Rods
« on: March 15, 2007, 07:51:27 PM »
Can anyone tell me if there is a technique for inserting pushrods into a Triumph Twin engine. (T100R). I want to be sure that I have seated them correctly on the followers and that they aren't sitting on the edge rather than in the cup.

Kind regards
Colin.

Hi Hugh,

Did try to call you in a panic after seeing the rods.

I was going to do a full flush of the oil.
Guess I am going to have to remove the head to collect the excess metal? Just after I got the push rod tubes "oil Leak Free"!

Hope you were happy with the weather over the weekend???Full time at the Met office now...so don't blame me!

Regards
Colin

British Bikes / Push rods --HELP

1967 T100R.

Push rods were not seated correctly on the cam followers cup. The consequence is that instead of a dome shape the pushrods look more like the letter D.

What are the implications of this?
Would I have damaged the followers or anything else?

the push rods are soft alluminium.

I assume I would just need to replace them?

regards
Colin.

British Bikes / Monobloc or Concentric?
« on: July 10, 2006, 03:22:46 AM »
Couple of open questions;

Can you replace Monobloc with Concentrics?

What are the benefits of one compared to another?

Can slide chambers become warbed on Monobloc?

Send the wheel off to central wheels for skimming. Forget the glue job you'll end up in more of a mess.

Not sure about the advanced unit. Drop Vintage MotorCycle Club a line (vmcc.co.uk) and they should be able to tell you the numbers.
