Made a quick start on making the engine bay look a bit better removed and signs of rust in which I couldn't find any. Painted up sum of the brackets (battery tray air pump brackets upper inlet and cover) sum bigger plans of the engine bay but will get to that.

Next to get done was work on the engine as it always had a noise coming from the bottom end. Had the work carried out at a local garage only for it to come back worse than it when in. He was saying the fly wheel an crank had come out of balance!! So I thought I will look in the it meself and check the bottom end meself to which I was in for a shock.

This is how they should have been put in but as you can see he used two top in one shell and two bottoms the wrong way round. If you want a job doing rite do it your self

As you can see the 4 branch is a bit shit but as it was given to me can't really moan for now. Having a custom made one to go with the new ported head so will see that soon. So this is pretty much how it looks now back on the road.
