Two questions please guys if you can help.
1/ I had the timing side cover off to change the dynamo chain and also took the oil pump off to clean / check it out. The oil pump has SRM engraved on the end plate, but it looks like a std BSA pump, does anyone know if SRM made pumps like that before they made their fancy anodised jobbies ?
2/ While the pump was off I found some end float on the crank, I didn't measure it accurately [I will do that shortly] but it must be about 15 thou, and there is about 3-4 thou play between the main bearing bush and the crank so a re-build is on the cards. The question is, who would you trust in England [apart from SRM in wales] to fit a new lead bronze bush and line reamer it to the crank journal. Anyone had a good experience or recommendation ??
The rest of the build I can do myself no problem but I would rather have someone do this for me.
