All because of a little oil leak

[don_matese]

So a few months ago my bike developed a bit of an oil leak around the base of the cylinders, finally got the time to start working on it so my "Fathers Day" was spent visiting my dad and using his garage to pull my bike to bits.

Stage 1 complete - put bike in as many boxes as you can manage (to make it like christmas when its going back together).

Before Lunch - stripped all the easy stuff (https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=7F00CD4658959C35&resid=7F00CD4658959C35%2118913&authkey=ABVkzl77mqwJs3Y)

A bit more gone (https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=7F00CD4658959C35&resid=7F00CD4658959C35%2118914&authkey=AGHl4KhKOb6W_2c)

After lunch most of the bike is in pieces (https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=7F00CD4658959C35&resid=7F00CD4658959C35%2118912&authkey=AEZ-U0winRiAqNI)

Not long to go (https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=7F00CD4658959C35&resid=7F00CD4658959C35%2118910&authkey=ABReKVc1-RaYgPU)

One liberated engine... viva la revolucion! (https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=7F00CD4658959C35&resid=7F00CD4658959C35%2118911&authkey=AFTxT7O-I2-1WBo)

Coming soon, the frame getting sent for paint/powder (not sure which yet), wheels refurbed and the engine stripped to replace all oil seals and gaskets...

A few brews and its easy to go OTT in the garage ,, enjoy pal .

The oil leak is at the cylinder gaskets so im trying to do an almost restoration seeing as its going to be in bits for a while.

[jerry]

yes I know that base gasket issue only to well on my 750ss and S4 ,,,

The little old lady in Bologna that puts 3-bond on the gaskets is a bit stingy, once you've redone them they' be sound as a pound.

Slob, its lasted 20yrs without being touched so I reckon its had a fair old go of holding up.
