Bit old post now re road surfaces here, but this is a more accurate image of what we come across, never mind the tyres, its our suspension and spines thats failing

You call that a pothole? This is the latest solution in the UK..

so my TBs got packed up and are going out for a full taper bore to remove the internal lip,

You should have said - we could have had a bespoke reamer made. I love reaming - we all have skeletons, OK!.

Can't say it is what floats my boat but I'd rather ream a skeleton than a live person anyday - just sayin'

I have my gear grinder back in hand!!

The new bigger circlips are monsters!! I am HIGHLY confident they won’t fail me. They are no less than twice as thick and a good bit taller, absolutely monstrous compared to stockers.

Everything was salvaged except the 3-4 assembly, kick ass.

Now, with it in hand, and seeing the size of the new clips, I think spending any more money would be throwing money at a problem unnecessarily, eg coating or micro polishing the assembly.

Guess I’m starting reassembly of the motor this weekend. Then I can flip it and do some things I’ve been wanting to do with the valvetrain.

There's no shame in spending some private time with lube in hand while looking at that !

Well I can see the point - but I'd miss the screaming.

Unlike you to be so pragmatic. Fever?

lol. Just have a long list of things I’m trying to get done, unfortunately none are cheap, so if I can not spend another $500 for possibly nothing, I’m going to do so.

Hell, I had an extra set done just for that reason
