Chances of buttoning up the engine (barrels and heads back on) before Christmas disappeared when Craig at Moto Rapido advised that Ducati cannot count to 8, they sent 7 black studs and I will have to wait until Tuesday before he can post parts to get the order fulfilled.
Still there are plenty of little jobs to be getting on with, cleaning rocker cover, cleaning camshaft bearing gasket faces, replacing the gear lever return springs (a good precautionary measure for about £8), fitting new gear lever shaft oil seal, fitting new oil level site glass window, fitting new timing glass window, bolting in the starter motor, bolting on the oil pump. None of which has the same kudos as the barrels and heads back on. C’est la vie.
