Thanks Ollie.
March update week 1.
So, with the calipers assembled EBC pads were then fitted and the calipers put in place.
Hardline pipes were then trial fitted.
After a bit of re-shaping of the hardline - everything lines up as it should.
Ready for the wheels......
Back to the carbs.
I converted an old drain plug to make a fuel level gauge, after running a drill through - an old spray can tube was fed through the plug and glued in, then some pvc tube pushed over - works a treat.
Clymer manual says the float height should be 22mm +/- 1mm, and the fuel level should be 3mm down from the carb body +/-1mm.
With the float height set at 22mm this gave a fuel level of 1mm.
After gaining experience in setting up the Ltd - I found those particular 26ss carbs to be a touch sensitive to float height - erring on the side of caution I opted for the -1mm to give a 2mm measurement - time will tell if this is wise....
Everything double checked and we're ready to fit - fingers crossed.
Double checked the valve shims, found a couple of clearances I'm still not 100% happy with.
FYI - head had new everything - guides, valves, seats, springs buckets etc..
All seats were cut to identical depths at the minimum tolerance.
Spring lengths and installed tension were identical.
Buckets were double checked to make sure they were identical.
Valve lengths were checked and matched, collet groove measurement from valve seat were checked.
Using Size 300 shims - all inlets are identical at 0.10mm clearance - spot on.
Using Size 300 shims - the nearside pair of exhausts are ok at 0.08mm the offside pair are a tad over at 0.11mm, I'm tempted to leave them as they do hammer in over time.
Wheels back this week - woohooo!
Such fun
- it's a good job there are NO more parts to buy - WooHoooo!!
it's little things like that, that set you apart from most of us 'knuckle draggers'
