After an overheating problem and 3 bent conrods i finally got the motor back in tonight. Just need to do the timing in the morning and out we go for a run. My fingers are crossed. While i had the motor out i fixed a soft spot in the floor. Found that the fuel tank had a small leak and rotted the floor and soaked the foam with petrol. Xould have been a disaster. was losing 2-3 litres a day. No wonder she was so thirsty.
looking forward to a more fuel efficient motor.

Is the PCV valve connected to the other valve cover?

Nice, of course when you say more fuel efficient you say it with a grin. I'm sure that fat boy is plenty thirsty no matter the condition!

[suprasaltareaud]

Yes both valve covers connected via a t piece to arrestor.

Yes it is still bloody thirsty but nowhere near what it used to be. Now i only have to open my wallet every other ski day. Ha ha
