Not seen that done before.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Well ..with 103k on her ..time for ground up
Could be that the person that fitted the manual cct's got the timing wrong and tried to turn it over with it mis-set.
Your choices are:
1: put new plugs in, see how it runs
2: pull head off and check
3: do a compression test.
I'd pull the heads, but then i' m very comfortable pulling engines apart- you may not be.
With 3 you need a compression tester but then with 2 you need two new head gaskets.
But with 1 you only need two new plugs.....

Re: Well ..with 103k on her ..time for ground up
In that case it's straightforward.
Just watch out for the small aluminium oil flow restrictors when you separate the two crankcase halves, and the large dowels in the lower crankcase to sump and oil pump pickup joins.
There is one small bolt inside the lower crankcase half to find, when all the peripheral ones have been undone, before they will separate.
And the heads have two small bolts inside the cam chain tunnels.
An engine hoist makes the job easy.
Have fun, Tony

Re: Well ..with 103k on her ..time for ground up
Hi tony .think i have found my issue ..as recently 2 weeks ago i had changed exhaust sleeve seal from rear cyl pipe...and im thinking from the that seal over lap has disengaged and sucked into cyl and there fore have found small junk on top of piston with no other explanation of where else could come from. As this piece had found its way to tap spark plug ....Elchappo76 wrote:Mate your a legend and a gentleman.
