It hadn't really been on the agenda to have to find this, on a supposedly recently 'rebuilt' engine in a 'beautifully restored' machine. Here we go again ...
I had hoped you would describe how to shim up the crank. Do you put shims behind the drive side main bearing or between the bearing and the crankshaft?
There is a shoulder on the crank which passes through and beyond the main bearing, a spacer butts up to this and then the engine sprocket butts up to that, so the crank would be able to float in any case, were it not for the internal shimming.
Seems to be moving very freely, you sure the crank isn't broken ? I know when i was checking mine, i had a job to get the crank to move in the bearings. An end feed conversion is the way to go on these, does away with bushes and shims and all that carry-on.
Sorry, but I only rebuilt the bottom end, I didn't rebuild the top end, the owner did it to save some money, but I recall one valve guide and the piston rings were changed, as well as various gaskets and seals.
@@MrCambsguy If it's filling up when the bike is left standing, then there should be a one-way valve in the scavenge side oil pipe somewhere. It's probably a ball bearing in a tube. Re seat it with a hammer tap if that's the case.
