So if you`ve been to the toolshop to buy one and then get stopped for a random search by the rozzers you`ll say, "oh that thing in my trousers, it`s a pigs dick"?

I've been busy with other things, but these cold winter days are perfect to work on my "project".
The alternator has to be tightened to 130 Nm, which is a piece of cake with the right (borrowed...) tools.

The right side of the engine is already done.

Tomorrow I'll start with the cilinderhead; grinding the valves etc.
It actually starts to look like an engine again!

I have always wanted to know
what lives in that big box atop the engine?

That's just the oil reservoir. Yep, it's that big!

Quality!

No dishwasher for me Tarwetijger, there`s no labour saving devices in my flat.
I just use the bath.

BUT, if I had a dishwasher................................................

Yes, I'm married SDN.

But in this household, the dishwasher is my responsibility.

And afterwards I run the washer again with some cleaning stuff, a treatment especially for dishwashers. So no harm done!

Nice work.

It's done! I've had some problems with the waterpump, it keeped leaking oil. Now fixed with a different pump. Today was the first ride out and with success! Yes, I was a little bit nervous I have to admit.

It runs fine now, very smooth. Funny to experience the difference with my other TRX (this black one is quite standard while the other one has flatslides & akra headers).

So what has been done?
- Crank fixed
- Exhaust valves replaced and all valves grinded
- Honed cylinders and new piston rings
- new timing chain
- A complete set of seals and gaskets of course
- All fluids refreshed (coolant, brakes, engine oil and forkoil). With the last one being a good opportunity to check if there are really WP springs in: check!
- Calipers cleaned (were all okay)
- New chain (this was actually new, but the rubbers were completely gone)
- Different waterpump...
- And lots of cleaning, scrubbing and polishing!
