OIL HEAD SERVICE DAYS

[mikeyboy]

I nipped into your house and stole it when you weren't looking. I even did some hoovering up whilst I was at it, your living room was a disgrace

Then I clicked on your link, and clicked on the download icon to download it to my laptop.

Then uploaded it to my photobucket account, then copied the image details from there, then posted those details in this thread by clicking on the 'Insert Image' icon above the reply box.

Just read that thanks bear, very good, however I am trying to do this from dropbox. I have moved to flickr and will try from there.

 

[Simian73]

Ok, I think I may have it!!
So we met and exchanged names, numbers and inside leg measurements....oops sorry thats for another forum!

We where introduced to a partially stripped down 1150 and just poked around for a little bit

Not sure what is under that hat?

Started at the back with worn wheel bearings/paralever bearings

Moved onto the bevel drive and basics of setting up, suffice to say some specialist tools may be required to setup backlash/endfloat etc

Looked at different oils for the gearbox and FD

Rear brake caliper, cleaning, making sure the slider works, checking pads etc.

Paralever bearings and setting up, adding heat to remove then proper torque settings for the new ones.

Drive shafts and comparing 1150's to 1200's, greasing U/J and splines

Moved onto valve clearances

Setting one cylinder on the rock then adjusting other side

Remove front cover and turn the crank pulley bolt to turn engine over (preferably with the spark plugs removed!)

Setting rocker arm clearance

Adjusting clearance

Valve clearance

Taking turns adjusting valve clearances and getting a feel with the feeler gauges.

Comparing TC1200 with shim under rocker arms to 1150 with locknut adjustment

HAL Sensor removal/changing

Fuel pump and filter removal/changing, no wonder they are difficult to get out with all those hands attached.

Balancing the throttle bodies

Adjusting throttle cable linkage

External fuel filter on Mikeyboys trick 1100

Balancing a 1200

Using a GS911

Reading live data from the diagnostics

Importance of wheel balancing

Starter motor service

Regrease and rebuild with new brushes

Like New!

Hopefully the pics are OK and show some of the excellent ways in which Mike puts things across and makes the day such fun, Cheers again.

Great pictures. Almost like being there, but without the flapjacks. A bit like when Bear actually went!

(We had flapjacks at the airhead day)

 

[mikeyboy]

Great pics

Those photos are fantastic quality .

Flapjacks are over rated and only eaten by fuckwits. Bacon sandwiches are where its at!

(Any photos of the flapjacks please?)

 

[Simian73]

Damn! Knew I had forgotten to take pics of the cakes and buns!, thanks for the comments, I really like the black and whites. Mike, if you want the originals I can email them and print put the b&w ones to hang up in the workshop?

 

[Billd]

Well done on the photos Simian!

 

[Deleted account 200502001]

Simian, what camera did you use please, and was there any kind of editing needed to get such quality photos?

 

[Simian73]

The camera was a Nikon D90 with a 17-55 f2.8 lens, the camera was in manual with between 1/80 and 1/30 shutter and f2.8 to f4 aperture, ISO 1600 so I didnt need flash, also white balance to flourescent as the workshop is lit with strip lights. Only editing was with lightroom and just contrast and clarity and conversion to B&W with the level 4 preset.

Impressive. so not an iPhone then

With my D5000 I always forget to change my white balance according to the type of lighting. And I would never think to crank up the ISO as high as 1600. But then there are many areas of DSLRs that I don't fully understand.

D5000 will be fine at 1600 even 3200, I think it is newer than a d90. May be fine upto 6400 but would have to do some test shots, there will be some grain obviously but this can be removed in Photoshop or Lightroom.
