Well chaps, while I'm waiting for some parts for the engine from the states,
not much to update other than looks like a lovely summer ahead, so at least
the old bones should be able to manage more of the arduous tasks,
with a little help from my friends.

Next update shouldn't be too long!

...Update!

Well my paintset, should be completed in a few weeks time.
In the meantime, my engine head will be worked on by 1980s drag racing legend Buzzard.

Sorry no pics to show. Nothing for sale here either.

~Jay.

Mick, only tablets doctors prescribed me were Co-Codamol and Naproxen.
Naproxen I became immune to so was prescribed Co-Codamol
which gave me terrible constipation. Any meds that people consume
over long periods of time are not good for the liver, so in any case
I tend to avoid tablets until I'm in excruciating pain, but I usually
have a soak in a hot bath, just enough to relax the tension, not too
long because of the moisture making it worse, as does damp weather
and weather that is very hot expanding the joints. Just standing for
about 15 minutes is dull agony on my T12 and L1 vertebrae and that's not
all, I tell ya blah blah blah
That's why I'm madcap

Plenty of sun, move to nice hot country......seems to work for a others I know..... :wink:

I have been in hospital for a while, but now I have some pics to show
of progress on my Z900...

Cylinder head pics

Valves before...

...and after...

New valve guides...

Thread repair on cam bearing cap bolt thread...

Pic showing thread repair and valve stem seals...

Rpm tacho drive tunnel before...

...during...

...and after...

The cylinder head work completed...

I have decided not to post pics of my paintwork, I will wait until the whole build is complete, and maybe I'll show my Z900 at Stafford, this year 2016, or next year 2017.

Please no sarcastic comments.

Nice to see you back on the site Jay, I hope your stay in hospital was nothing too serious. Buzzard does do some excellent work.

Keep the updates coming.
