Far out!

A mate purchased a 2014 Landcruiser ute from Grays in VIC and got burned on it.

I will let him know to check this out.

 

I like that race car.

 

12 million plus

 

Pap cash buyer @$150K.

 

So I finally got the Triumph going enough to take it for a ride. Is it a bad thing if the engine suddenly stops and the back tyre locks up for 25m? Just asking

 

Oh nooooo, how!, why??

You need to pay your mechanic more

 

Not sure. It was pissing out so much oil, I thought was a hydraulic lock at first. I rigged up a little catch tank, which was overflowing - the right side of the rear tyre was covered in oil, so a RH corner would have brought me to grief. I pulled the clutch in and it rolled along, so it wasn't gearbox. The engine was ostensibly rebuilt, so it might have been tight. The outside plugs look lean, but I could crank it over soon after, so nothing was jammed into the bores. I'll do a compression test and throw a borescope down it, but bikes aren't my forte, so I'll hand it off to an expert.

 

Don't have a bike mechanic. But I will.

I meant pay yourself

 

No 1 - too lean
No 2 - too rich
No 3 - no spark

 

I think you need to put them in the engine, not in an esky lid.

 

What he said. [emoji965]

 

So which one are you?

 

Pat,

Clearly it siezed - something is wrong in the top or bottom end.

1. Remove the engine from the bike & remove head.
2. Check piston to bore clearance on each cylinder
3. If clearance in spec, lift barrels and check for broken rings.
4. If top end OK, split the crankcase, remove con rods, measure all journals. Close the rod halves and measure inside diameter.
5. In the unlikely event that everything checks out, get the crank checked and linished, lightly hone the bores, then put it back together with new bearings and rings.

 

Or buy a period BMW
