Also refitted pump to tank, dropped engine oil and made a deflector for oil from oil filter so it wouldn't get all over the headers.( or my nice new trolley.)

It can be a long journey wading through the keyboard warriors' bosh, tosh and drivel. But somewhere there is usually a gem. :sweating:
You probably know I spent HOURS trying to find info on my Bimmer motor upgrade. I was about to give up , but re-read an endless mind numbing thread. Found the answer on last page ( page 52 :faint: !!)
WHAT AM I ? ?Allen key head broken off?
@HatiWHAT AM I ? ?Allen key head broken off?
Ran out of puff ;) I have a Honda and two Beemers, no Suzukis in the stable to guess where they use bolts that need allen keys.Of course it HAD to be the long end of 125mm allen key
Could turn the bike upside down and shake :D You just need to weld two hoops around your bike trolley :D ;) They always break and stay in the bolt heads ;) At least from my experience...
Bike porn :razz::rofl: :rofl: payback :goodjob: :goodjob2:
No funnel? WW2 trick used by my Dad.: place match stick across mouth of container> have match stick extending down> gently tip container> oil or petrol follows match directly down toward and into opening..Sounds like a plan, knowing my luck the match would end up in sump. :rolleyes:

An hour ago, I SMOKED the Z3 past old Harry's house in at similar manner. 120 kph in 2nd! :crazy3: :happydance:Sure he wasn't choking on the smokey Z3 fumes...he might have been waving for help :whistler: :lol:
As I returned, idling past him at 3800 rpm, he was lying on his lawn, but he looked up and motioned a thank you :goodjob2: wave to me ... it seems he has lost all fear of getting COVID-19.

Nah, It was all applause, he thought he was back at Bathurst again, :evil:
I had to look up HF, still none the wiser. :eek:

Sounds like hard work.. No time for mischief there.. Wouldn't suit me! :winker: :snigger:
@Dazzler
You'd love this work. A lot of it goes like this :
"You know what goes where, you can't see it, but, you can feel it.
Now close your eyes, put some hair around it and be gentle".
A saying from a mate's dad when we were young.

Ignore him Mick, it used to work in a bank. :rolleyes: Say no more. :mrgreen:
Only plugs and oils & had the shafts out before. ( years ago I decided to do shaft process after giving it a 4 x limit run in a 50 . Discovered the final drive had stress cracks :Shocked: )
Have a workshop service manual, usually read a couple of times, then do. Am learning as going.
All good fun, come on parts.

As you say all good fun :goodjob2: :goodjob2:
My brain is wired so that I read the manual, find 10 useless anomalies , start the job and get to the WHAT the f part? or OK thats what they meant part, and then I re-read the manual.
Mate of mine is an aircraft engineer and pilot; he is wired the same way.
Initially he couldnt understand the theory. Eventually said to the instructor, just let me fly the bloody plane. He went up, landed and passed the written test.

My Brother and I are like chalk and cheese when it comes to RTFM.. He reads them cover to cover (I seldom use them at all) They are always the very last resort for me (more like to google if I get stuck)
I find the piston and caliper work fascinating.Won't be doing work, just paying for it. :victory:
Can't say the same for home imporvement. After improving 5 houses (rentals and home) it's become very mundane.
Don't get me wrong - I still maintain my rentals first-hand - but the most interesting job I had recently was ...(click to show/hide)

.... Only one mechanic was competent , the other 5 aardvarks just demonstrated how to screw the job up.
After another 2 days, slipped a long 6mm bolt in rear of caliper, packed out the front with wood and ssllooowwyy pressed piston out in vice. :happydance:
Is there some system of adding or removing (or reforming) padding to the existing shells?
Correct, can be a pain at times.Is there some system of adding or removing (or reforming) padding to the existing shells?
Not in motorcycle helmet land. You have to pick something that fits your head size and shape the best.

Time for the dremel, oops, Ozito rotary toolFunny, I often use the same line.
:lol:I could have got a Dremel, but preferred the Ozito, with stand, flexible drive shaft, different size collars. Was cheaper too. :goodjob:Time for the dremel, oops, Ozito rotary toolFunny, I often use the same line.

Ive seen Ozito tools ( tile and jig saws) being used on work sites. They have a short life compared with good Jap or US equipment. But they are so cheap and work well its a no brainer, especially now that adding US transport cost almost doubles the machine or parts price.

The amount of work it's done down in dirt is huge and still going strong.
Horses for courses, have a AEG 650w drill now 40 yo and unstoppable.
Usually by items with steel gears. Have a Bosch jigsaw that has cutting over its
depth range heaps of times, just bought a new blade clamp screw for it $ 5:50.

Gee, I vaguely recall the carpet (pinkish) was a bit worn, but though the rest of your place was very schmik! :Shocked:Pinkish ?, close, how about 47 shades if green. Hang on, you were wearing the hat whilst here. :lol:
CLEANER ! ! !Indeed but that chain looks a bit tight to me ;)
Well !, forget about those pics of the bench & kitchen etc.
Quite calmly and quietly Pulled our painter up regarding having our 2 lounges, otterman & bespoke tables uncovered and getting covered in dust, (about 20k worth & Red velvet lounge got paint on it) and the paint on our fabric bed base and the tear in the fabric on the other side.
He packed up, left the 2 apprentices to do touch ups and clean up.
Ensuite, main bed, craft room and lounge done.
