1950 Series C Comet - Vincent's Vincent Part 3 of 4 - new pushrods

[@jonathanhucker4634]

Perfect start to a Sunday morning with a coffee, thanks for sharing 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@krautrapide]

Fitting the pushrods is one of the most beautiful jobs on a Vincent as the follower cups are never where you expect them to be, specially the front exhaust one. The scratches on the steady plate shows that the whole timing side needs new shimming. Another nice Job for a boring rainy afternoon...

Made my Sunday morning so much better and relaxing. Thanks.

Another great video Mike!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thanks again!

[@jimbyrne9071]

I have said it before this is the best channel by far. I never miss a video you sir are one in a million.

[@mickgerard6696]

Nice Mike! Well sorted! All that wear probably came from just the simple thing of basic maintenance, starting with frequent oil changes. So many people foo foo CLEAN and CORECT oil, and maintenance of the filtration system. Cheers my friend. 🌞😎

[@uwekarstens3384]

Good view into the internals. My late friend from Cheshire used to have a prewar HRD Meteor. The ancestor of the Comet. The V- Twin Was called Plumbers Nightmare already prewar. Have a good week Mike Cheers Uwe

[@pasha12343]

Interesting episode, thank you 👍

[@54macdog]

Excellent work. This is turning out to be a sweet machine; it needs a caring owner. Make the bloke an offer?

[@mikemcallister757]

Thanks Mike for another fun video! I really enjoy seeing how these old bikes work.

[@TheMightyGarage]

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Loving this series. But the finish way too quickly 😁

[@gerrypowell2748]

Beautiful methods of working on this bike,I’ve forgotten how satisfying they were👌👌👌

[@thakery5720]

The more you look, the more you see that could do with looking at, but I suppose it's all down to the milage/length of time since it last had maintainence - nothing lasts forever does it and it's interesting seeing how it is 'worn-in' !

[@alanstockley391]

Lovely work as always and a joy to watch on a Sunday 👍🇬🇧

[@rafaelpelizza5757]

[@chrisbarnes9260]

I find your videos very entertaining Mike and enjoy your skills working on bikes. If you are self taught I am impressed cheers Chris

[@georgemartin5481]

Love looking at the intriguing Vincent internals Mike. I take it the loose cam nut was the cause of the steady plate scouring?

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

Great work as usual. Did you suss out why the plate was scored? Was it because of the loose nut?

[@coreylevenson]

Nice work! I might have missed it - did you ever sort out why the cam was rubbing on the back of the locating plate?

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hi Corey, sorry for the delay. Yes I think it was a combination of the loose nut on the outside and a missing shim. Hope you are doing well. Best wishes, Mike

[@beemergb]

Did you flush the oiltank out Mike ? As its been standing for so long .I didnt do it and paid the price !! Cylinder and piston knackerd with no oil circulating !! Go all excited and didnt think ! Happy Days

[@wdhewson]

Do the Comet's cam followers have a hard material foot on them like Triumph uses? I think Triumph used a Stellite foot??

[@howardworrall]

Front exhaust (twin and Comet) pushrod installation always the worst job on engine assembly, specially if the engine's assembled and in the frame - gravity is your enemy. I put the pushrod in with the cam follower lifted and guide it with long nose pliers, a small torch and a rabbit's foot. :o)

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thanks Howard, that was a tricky job. I know what you mean about the rabbit's foot 🤞🏻😉

[@jameskwaka]

For me, a Sunday evening delight. But over far too quickly. Mike, can you just live permanently in the garage and put out content 24//7? Is that too much to ask?
