Forgive me fb but I can't quite work out what you mean. I may need a little help.

Pump shaft.jpg So I've tried to measure the shaft deviation. Not easy to mount the dial gauge in a totally solid place. Just cranking the motor over by hand affects the reading. However, the value is around 0.08mm at the shoulder nearest the small thread, and around 0.04mm where the seal lip sits o...

Whole coolant circuit full of gloop. Not much water in the oil.

Thanks eddydog. I will check for play in the bearings and put a dial gauge on the end of the shaft and turn the motor over to check for deviation.

The oil showed very little sign of contamination. Didn't notice at all when draining the sump. There was just a bit of pale gloop on the filter cover bolts. At that point I went straight for the rad. cap which is when it became more obvious I had a problem.

Timing cover off today. The pump shaft looks in reasonable shape to me. You can see the difference in colour where the seal sits on the shaft and can feel the very slightest bit of wear. It's like there's a tiny change in surface texture. Detectable by finger tip, but feels perfectly smooth if you r...

Thanks eddydog
I'll get the timing cover off today and have a look.

Hi all So during servicing the Corsaro, I've discovered the dreaded oil/water creamy emulsion. It appears to be more oil in water than water in oil although that is by no means a scientific assessment. Causes I can think of are; a head gasket or the water pump shaft seal. Can anyone suggest any othe...

Thanks for the info.
Will keep my eyes open for a set of those.

Thanks for the pics. Those wheels look nice. I like too your forks and calipers. Were they expensive? I fancy some radial caliper mounts. More options for upgrades! There's not a huge choice of axial calipers with 40mm fittings. When my battery finally dies it will certainly be replaced with a Lithi...

Cheers gents. Sensor is working fine (it's relatively new as the last one slowly deteriorated and eventually gave up...) I guess I'll be keeping the steel bolts then. I have to admit at being a bit conflicted on weight saving, particularly on road bikes. On one hand, I love tinkering with the Morini...

Presumably the speedo sensor is an electromagnetic device?
Reason I ask..every spring at service time, I try to shave a bit of weight from the Veloce. I was thinking of some titanium fasteners but I guess the rear disc bolts need to be steel for the speedo sensor to work.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Jim.

The baffles look wrong to me.

Anyone on here? Just wondering. Looks nice and clean.

From memory... buzzetti m38x1.5 flywheel puller small gear pullers (if you're replacing the cam shaft sprockets) flywheel holding tool torque wrench that'll go down to 5nm torque wrench that'll go up to 180nm I took off the clutch and primary gear as it made it easier to remove the water pump drive ...
