What is the problem here Rick? Not sure what the problem is here looks like a healthy supply of oil to me ? Some sohc oil feeds on some engines have restrictors to limit oil feeds as well as catch areas to keep the camshafts well oiled in the head.

Hope all goes well with the operation best of luck - stay safe. Cheers Ted

Can't wait until March 2st 2021 ! My post operative recovery has been good no wound infections - drove again on the 7th Jan 2021 as per advice. Currently just got back to light housework - then on the 1st March I will continue work on my project Honda CB400/four restoration. Next job is...

Just a thought. You have an electrical nightmare going on there. The wire that you found was shorting - are there any immediate upstream (or possibly downstream) relays that may have melted in the closed position whist it was shorting?

Real World Jeep MPG Not sure what sort of MPG your online research for Jeeps has thrown up as there are many untruths out there. I do not tow. As you know we run two Jeep JC's. The WJ 2.7CRD average is as follows. 2016 over 9.8k miles 25.13 mpg 2017 over 14k miles 24.64 mpg 2018 over 14k...

Nephrectomy now done - feeling good all considered.! They did the operation on the 25th November and removed my right kidney - went as planned keyhole. Well three keyholes two small ones plus a larger one to pull out the problem kidney. Just 4 days in hospital had the clips out a couple of...

Mitsubishi pulling out of Europe ? Pretty sure I've read that Mitsubishi are pulling out of the UK market for new vehicle sales. Late used prices are bound to fall initially I would have thought...

Great welding there Elty! I have to say I have always enjoyed looking at other people welding jobs - it must be very satisfying to be able to weld. Back in the late 1970's I did a spot (no pun intended) of electric welding mainly on new Mini subframes to make them stronger for rallying etc. My...

Bike on it's side to remove the engine I've read that elsewhere I have to remove the sump and camshaft cover then it will only come out from the right hand side - it's my plan to do it as you have suggested. I might take the cylinder block off to make it lighter.

Testing your Pee regularly!! Thanks Elty, it has brought home to me the importance when you are older of testing your urine regularly as advised by the late and great Uncle Rustic and others here to detect Prostate problems. I used to test mine every month or so over the last 4/5 years but...

High security lock down for me but the Honda will get some attention! I'm due a pre-surgery Covid 19 test on Sunday at Derby Royal if all goes well I hope to have my right kidney removed on Wednesday 25th November 2020 - I've been waiting for just over two months for a date primarily delayed...

Nice looking Patrol - I've always fancied one Tidy looking motor you have there.

I would try here first they are very helpful over the phone too but not always 100% right! https://www.milneroffroad.com/vehicle/nissan

You should be okay in the dry but in the wet you might find the rear brakes keep on locking up - not good you could easily end up spinning off the road on a bend!

Buy an adjustable brake balancer valve they are not expensive If you do not have dual circuit brakes you can buy adjustable balancer valves you just tweak them until the rear brakes do not lock. I fitted one to my old Austin Mini when I changed the size of the rear wheel cylinders. There are...

Covid 19 fears are real. We have never had compulsory vaccination in the UK it could never happen with our laws Doug on assault & consent. We have compulsory notification of certain diseases such as Campylobacter but that's not quite the same thing. In the past we have relied on peoples...

I'm getting on with my Honda CB400F2 rebuild project - currently oven baking some alloy engine covers whilst the Gaffer is at work.

Okay Rick what's your answer ? Opinions are like arseholes everyone's got one Rick, instead of banging on about the Covid19 situation as usual and how the Government has done it all wrong what is your answer to the Pandemic? How would you control the spread so that it does not overwhelm us...

Starter Motor tiredbess? It might not be easy to get at but Starters can part fail when the internal connections corrode and fail under high load. Definitely worth checking - I have in the past damaged a starter by overtightening the power cable.
