I usually smear some oil on the gaskets when assembling to not only stick them in place but if i need to remove the cover for some other reason on a near future it usually comes off easily not needing to replace. BTW that is not a 85 engine. Like you mentioned the 85 engine uses a paper element filter inside a cover instead of spin on one, that changed in '96 IIRC.
Exciting times Euan, my bad on the oil filter, new bolts only cost me one kidney so bargain I say 😂…folks will love the new wheel and hopefully valve covers not too far away 😎 #musashi
At one point during the video I thought you and the frame were having a private moment or it was some mating ritual but I see you showed it who was boss and United it with the engine again. It’s all falling back into place, looking forward to seeing the finished article Euan. 👍
Coming along nicely mate
Those bolts really make a difference. It looks so good!!
Looking good 👍🏻
Amazing how much of a difference some bolts make. Wonder if you can get them in different colours?
