Can you tell me a have a BSA A65 1967 There is a hole in one comrod what side drive or timeing side What happens if fitted to wrong side
@alexanderpotts73083 ай бұрын
The con rod with the hole goes on the left hand side (the drive side). If fitted the wrong side, the left hand bearing will be starved of oil

This is one of the finest motorcycle museums in the world and nobody talks about the fact that this Museum burned down and within a few years all motorcycles were replaced except for one. There was a display of the burned area behind plastic walls that showed how bad the fire was. It is truly a gift to the motorcycle enthusiast and is the way a museum should be run.

Do these guys fill the crank with oil before they balance it? I have never heard of anyone who does this and I’ve always wondered why not just curious.

Conrods are 50 to 60 years old and are best in the bin. Billet conrods are the way to go. Just my two cents.

4:20 jumps past the rocker shaft removal. How do they come out? I tried tapping our right to left but not getting any movement. I don't want to get very aggressive with the Hammer!
@mysticapprentice Жыл бұрын
First of all, get a workshop manual and study carefully. That said: "Slacken off the two front (exhaust) valve rocker adjusting screws until the two pushrods can be removed, then unscrew the nut holding the exhaust rocker shaft - at the front right-hand side - and tap the shaft through towards the left hand, leaving the rockers in position. Pay attention to the position of the spring and thrust washers, then lift the rockers from between the shaft pillars."
@davepratt256310 ай бұрын
I’m at the point of pulling the exhaust rocker shaft on mine and expect the shaft will require some special efforts so I checked the manual and watched this video- they skipped it? WTF? The manual does not address “sticky” shafts. If needed, I plan to use a heavy hammer/hand sledge and a blunt shaft to tap it out. Perhaps add some heat to the towers but not on the rocker or shaft. 4:46

I had a '64 model thunderbolt and I replaced all the rocker cover fixing hardware with newly made studs that had BSF (lower half of the stud) and 1/4 " (above) and nickle plated dome nuts. BSF was terrible to work with, given the various range of sizes and I couldn't get tools to suit. I generally used metric substitutes and muddled through.

With all due respect to SRM because I know they do great work , why is the crankcase not held in a jig ? It would make disassembly much easier and safer .

SRM, that reminds me of a time many years ago when i took one of the founders and his girlfriend back to Penarth from London with, if I remember right, a BSA single 500 that had broken down. Happy days, i seem to remember being fairly impressed with their set up even back then.

Thank you so much. Great to see the experts at work and get some tips before having a go at home. Most of us don't do it often enough to remember the pitfalls. A fitter turner friend of mine said you don't need a micrometer. On an old Brit bike it's pretty obvious when something is worn out. Back in the 70's I could rip these down and put them back together in an evening. The alternative was catching the bus to work.

I cannot speak highly enough of SRM: I've had several jobs done by them, from cylinder rebores, complete head refurbishments, balancing, etc. and the quality is absolutely world class, flawless. I love this company and will always keep going back to them when I need something done. Thank you Rick and CB for giving us a peak into the operations.
