What I didnt realise until I went back into the workshop was there is actually 2 hammers in the image, the other is a real copper soft faced unit. Ciao

Didnt realise it had taken so long,lol. Not even a proper hammer either but a girly dead blow plastic thing. Ciao

Twelve pages and, finally, a hammer shows up. And rather prominently!

So the engine and gearbox are together after some confusion regarding a couple of the mounting studs. Seemed i'd lost 2 of the shorter studs but then realised the engine is originally mated up to a 5 speed box and the shorter studs were different. I robbed them off the 2 valve engine. The clutch push rod length seemed fine compared to the original and I used some dry molycote lube painted onto the clutch and gearbox splines sparingly. I use this on Ducati dry clutches as well to ease the wear factor. My neutral switch lasted zero time as it fell apart when my finger pushed sideways against it fitting the gearbox. Robbed that off the original gearbox as well. Ciao

Without being impolite when asking for help with a running issue this stuff needs to be included at the beginning. This seems to be a common event, people asking for troubleshooting help and not including very important information from the start, its very annoying. Like going to the doctor complaining of a headache and not telling him it started after you banged your head. Its troubleshooting 101......provide ALL associated information at the beginning, not drip fed over pages of a thread. Ciao

Progress,got my bench back. Stopped procrastinating and used the ramp method to transfer the engine to the lifter. Need to remove the TB's and fit the gearbox and offer the lot up to the frame. Ciao
