Let me be the first of many to congratulate you Paul , well done 👍. I suppose as time goes on you will no doubt come across quite a few bikes that need a lot of time and innovative ideas to get them back on the road. At the end of the day a job that satisfies a passion you obviously have for restoration of sometimes beautiful works of art can’t be too bad. Take care and thank you.
That must be so frustrating for you. Regarding the original head - was there a manufacturing fault that was subjected to a workaround or did someone butcher it many years later? Either way you spent time and money on something that was never going to be "right". Is it possible to fix the alignment of the valve guide or is the scrap bin it's last resting place.
Great channel... really enjoy listening to the knowledge Paul has. One question.. why does Paul refer to them as ASBO? I know that as an Anti Social Behaviour Order!!!
Time to rest. Thanks Paul.
Well done again Paul
That cylinder head would try the patience of a saint!
Weeeehooooo. 49 on its way. Long may it run happy
A very good reason or celebration! Thanks for the video!
A wee dram is definitely in order, I'll have one too, cheers.
deserves a couple of pints after all that too,
enjoy yer friday beverage paul 👍😉😊
More obstacles surmounted with diligence and perseverance 👍👏👌
At least you couldn't test ride it! That is one bonus....
Well done, mate. A long and winding road, indeed.

Hi Philip, this ought to help explain!
I say, how did the owner react to this unexpected,
Hd.-problemmes, horror story ? Do they ever question your Ability or Honesty ?!
Hopefully he is happy, but I have yet to hear ...
Hello Paul a daft question . Has anybody ever took the oil tank out of the middle of the engine and gearbox. Could it be done ??? Thanks.
Hi Adrian, not that I know of, although anything is possible, I suppose.
£60 for an ali bronze valve guide? Shocking. I had 49 years on the lathe and could have done you one for a fiver.
book him in Paul on that one get a stock on nice work av a brandy tonite
Do it then.
