Love the sound of that Triumph Mark, thanks for posting!
Sounds good that, do they now have a class for TY Mono's?
Hi Johhny,
Aqueduct run Pre 65, Twinshock, A/C Mono and Modern Mono classes. Last couple of trials have had over 120 entries and nearly 1/3 of them have been modern.

Might have to do another one then
That one I did was a laugh
Sections look straightforward and non need for heroics
It appears so

Enjoyed those videos, thanks for posting.
What to do during the great Covid 19 lockdown? For the first time in 14 years, I wished I had a bigger garden! Plenty of people posting videos of themselves making practice sections in their gardens, I can just about manage to do a full lock figure of eight in mine. The first time I knocked one of the planters over I thought perhaps this isn't a good idea. So a bit of a spruce up ready for whenever the season starts instead.
I wanted to re-route the oil pipes to the filter, and now was the perfect opportunity. Whilst everything was clean, I got out the polish and gave her a once over. New mudguards front and rear, and a re-upholstered seat. Now the only remaining oil leak is from behind the kickstart and gear levers!
Making it clean isn't half as much fun as making it dirty though!

Not posted for a while, but I have still been riding. A few family issues have meant less time unfortunately. One of the road trial events in October was brought to a premature end by some suspicious noises from the motor. Deciding to wait for the van, rather than ride back to it, turned out to be a very good plan, as dropping the sump plug revealed this:
Bugger. Strip down time (again)

That doesn't look good at all.
First thing I suspected was one of the clutch bolts had backed off, as the noise appeared to come from that side. The fact that there seemed to be two different types of "swarf" in the sump plug worried me somewhat though. No sign of anything untoward in the clutch case, so wondered if a piston ring had picked up. Took the head and barrel off to have a look, with similar results, all rings present and correct. Tried the timing side, and again nothing. There was however, quite a metallic sheen to any oil residue.
Spoke to the guy who rebuilt the engine earlier on in this thread and asked his advice. Unfortunately he had a full schedule, so couldn't look at it himself, but suggested to try the con rods for any play. Sure enough the left one had considerable lift at the big end. So into unknown territory for me, splitting crankcases!

Have these engines got a sludge trap in the crank?

Don't know if it applies to 3TAs.
