Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

I may have missed a post or something but it has been a while since the rides section was available.
I have some nice new photos that I want to upload but can't at the moment.
Is it back up and running and I am missing it or do we have a timescale for when it will be back.
Am also hoping for some commitment from the committee members one way or another to the show I am trying to organise. Click on the link on my sig.
