Distractions!

paul g » Tue Jul 05, 2016 7:00 pm

So as if I didn't have enough on my plate with my track bike/F3 hybrid project I couldn't resist buying Fontys old race bike last year.





It came with whole load of spares/landfill and was running NF5 top ends and PGM. The plan was to remove and keep the NF5 stuff for future projects, rebuild the bike using the parts that came with the deal, use it for a couple of track days while I finish building my other bike and then sell it on.

Well that was the plan! The bike did run when I bought it but had been standing unused for some time so would need a bit of work to get it track worthy. so forks were stripped, seals replaced and rebuilt with new oil. Brakes and master cylinders were striped cleaned and assembled with new seals, various missing bolts, spacer, seals and bits and bobs were replaced from my parts stock, linkages and bearings greased. I replaced the nf5 cylinders with a nice spare set of stock cylinders and pistons from my stock(I did get a whole crate of cylinders with the spares lot, none of which were usable Very Happy ) and replaced the mc18 rad with a 21 rad.

So new fluids were added and she fired up. I ran it through a couple of heat cycles and everything seemed good, apart from the puddle of coolant! damn thing was leaking from the base gasket of the lower cylinder. This is were my patience ran out and I parked it up and ignored it.
