Hi all
After a busy weekend with a Confirmation (my youngest son) I finally got the time to rip the BSA apart to look at the damages.
And as always some good and some bad news... the thread was not ripped, but instead the stud was broken, so no new thread and helicoil needed this time.
But as you can see from the next pictures I've been driving with a broken ring on the left piston, so I guess that explains the blue smoke from the left pot?
The discoloring of the pistons - is that due to blow by, or something to be worried about? there are no marks to be seen or felt in the cylinder walls.
And finally please take a look at the picture of cam followers, they look pretty worn to me, but being in no way a mecanical genius, like some of you, I would like your opinion - do they need replacement/repair?
regards
Joergen
