SUS 8 - 1971 Triumph 500cc Engine Disassembly - PART 1 

When I got my 70 Daytona, I found that the prior owner had tried to DRILL the rod bolts out of it! Don't ask me why, if I ran with people like that I probably would have been hit by a bus for not looking when I cross the street or something! It was a mess, I rode it for a long time and now it's rebuild time, due to a bout with cancer, I farmed the engine rebuild out to a friend of mine who is a very experienced Triumph guy, so all I am doing is the cosmetics this time, I'm better at making shit look good than wrenching anyway. He did have his work cut out for him though, I used to run "Oilzall" in it, just like Castrol R, but when I shut it down a long time back, I neglected to rinse it through with regular oil! So it was as glued together as you'd want it be, but it's all cleaned up now and on the way back to my spring loaded wrist, I love that little 500! Ps.. I'm in need of a couple transmission parts if have for the right price, all of my engine parts have been ordered up, but a couple used transmission parts wont hurt, have a good day.

If household silicone prevents the push rod tubes from leaking, I'm going to start using it instead of O rings.

Excellant videos

I have a '66 T100 that I bought as a project in a box. I determined that mine was rebuilt, many years ago with .010 over pistons. The crank was turned .010 under but they failed to clean the crank trap. I estimate it ran for less than 5 minutes before it tired up. They pushed it off in a corner and left it to die. I got it about 30 years later.

Pretty rough, but better than nothing.

Looks like the previous owner went a little crazy with the silicone. And water was still able to get inside parts of the engine to rust it up.
