As soon as I got the bike home, the first job was to make
an assessment of what needed to be done. I split restoration projects broadly
into “Engine”, “Gearbox” and “Chassis” sub-projects and the engine obviously
needed major attention. I also look for what are likely to be the most
difficult parts of each sub-project and tackle those first. I have seen plenty
of “For Sale” projects that have a beautifully painted tank and a powder coated
frame …with the crankcases split into 5 pieces! The easier bits can wait.
Looking at the timing-side, below, there is clearly some
remedial work to be done.
And the picture below, taken of my R10 camshaft drive, shows what this should look like.
