Its taken a long time coming to get all the parts together but i'm finally... Getting my engine assembled. Wiseco Pistons and Eagle rods at the ready, took me a good few hours to get them connected; Biggest peeve with putting the rods on the pistons was the cir-clips. Couple of hours later and with help from a proper wiseco piston installer all 6 were fitted in place. Whole crank and piston assemble rotates smoothly and i've added some oil to lube the cylinders up prior and after the pistons got installed.

WHAT is wrong with people during this pandemic ???? So today I went to the shop. While I’m standing in front of the checkout, this person comes up behind me and starts TAPPING me on my shoulder ignoring ALL the social distancing rules right!? So I tried to ignore them but they kept tapping and tapping. THIS is where it got interesting. So the IDIOT kept tapping ...See more

Hi Luke, What kind of zed do you have, UK / JAP ? The wiring seems to change also depending on the year, maybe the previous owner tried to botch install the loom from another zed. Or it may be just a bad connection to the controls.

Happy birthday, all the best.

Only company i could find was 'Engine Parts UK' And i'm fair sure that i paid over the odds for them too.

Found a company yesterday and got a set delivered today. Should be able to start the build this weekend now. Happy Days ?

Thought that was only BMW's

Why the hell do they need to drop the engine just to improve access ?

Did they, i shall give them a call shortly then.

looks like its mid September before i can get the bearings shipped as everything is on back order. ?

Happy Birthday ?

Don't think they sell the kind of bearings I need

Any UK based suppliers that can get bearings for the zed tt. Seems a general 2 month back order from the USA for all bearings no matter what the make.

Nearly engine build time, Bearings are now ordered from conceptz and soon as they arrive i should be putting it all together again.

Yeh, I think i saw a picture of Garys which made it look very clean, also my original tray looked a bit worn and i thought the metal one would last longer than an original oem.

New toys arrived ?

Think i got lucky as SpecialityZ added a marked down invoice for me to get it past customs cheaper. So i've only paid import duty on £1250.

Finally cleared customs but got stung by a £316.36 import tax and duties ? Out of the £££ i've imported from the US this is the biggest amount ever paid to customs.

I was thinking that too but it just updated again to sorted at National hub, so hopefully they are not holding it to ransom

Woo Hoo

Yeh, Send by snail mail. Checked it again this morning and still no update. I bet they are sending me a letter to say i owe customs charges.

And still stuck in customs since last week. ?

My order is in the UK now, should have it by next week
