I wont keep you all in suspenders any further ........................it was............................!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bolts that attach the flywheel to a flange on the crankshaft had unwound themselves yes all of them! eventually they contacted the bell housing, ie clunk-stop. The rebuilders reckon they weren't properly torqued at the factory, no harm to the engine , they had taken the head off as a precaution but nothing wrong there. I just have to source a few gaskets for them and its all go , hopefully the bill won't be too steep for that, they said its a very common engi

Did I say Massive sigh of relief

I'll get them to use loctite for the reassembly but also see if I can get a copy of the shop manual and see if it specifies lock washers. Annoyed that it happened but yes the outcome is a huge relief, we will probably get it back in action for March/April ....yay ! Haven't missed much with the recent weather anyhoo.

Great news.

The Kawau Race Week scheduled for this weekend has just been postponed by one week. Will now be one race on Fri 30 Jan at 4pm, and 2 races on Sat 31. However it now clashes with the Squadron Kawau weekend - doh!

Nice to get good news for a change!

Enough with the suspense already... We've been waiting months, if not years for the latest installment of what is wrong with your engine. PS, this is better than anything on Netflix at the moment

That will buff right out !
