I are a Machinist, so I'm going to comment on your "valve job"... matey, that is perfectly fine for roughing out a seat, using the old valve is the smart move, and for anybody watching thinking of doing the same - DON'T overdo it, bit at a time until there is a faint shadow about 20% of the circumference, then stop and lap in a new valve. This is a good quality job for a Bushie.
I hope you positioned the rings in the right place on the piston before putting in bore. Plus fit the top big end bearing into conrod before fitting in bore. Plus lots of lube assembly grease on bearing faces.
@@lindsaybuchecker5373 I did those things, however my camera wasn't recording for a number of parts, very frustrating. Had lots of audio issues as well.
Beautiful !
@@martinbarnes6853 cheers, it turned out alright👍

@@pretendorossi cheers mate, you do what you can in the bush. Just enough work to take the crust off and no more.
Nice work!

If you ever swap out that lucas generator for an alternator theres a tacho conversion kit available
@@HDXFH yep if the generator dies, I'll be upgrading to an alternator.
don't push to tighten.
pull to tighten, pull to loosen.
that way you get to feel what 60 lb ft, feels like
