After starting this model G restoration I seem to be acquiring more and more of the buggers

You could pile them in to a mountain and climb up it, we'll call it engine-erring! LOL

Hi Barry----if you go over to "Technical" and look at the thread named "Valve lifter in name only" our friend Tad Haggard could use some photos and info on the model G's valve lifter system.......Can you help ??

Hi, would I be right in thinking middle engine is a 250cc? Vince.

Vince

Yes the middle is a 250 model S

Alan,

I'll have a look when I'm back in the shed, the first G engine is getting a full strip down and will be used in the bike, the last G in the picture will be eventually for selling.

Hi Barry, Allan R recommended I check out your post. I was convinced that I had a valve lifter problem, fool me. The valve lifter appears to be the only thing that is not out of whack. I have placed some photos on my post "valve lifter in name only" but, unlike you I have nothing to compare it to. Could you take a photo of your rockers, the motor in the foreground has its cover off, particularly the pushrod side. I want to see if the arms are approximately level. I am in the process of rebuilding my '48 G and I am loathe to try and start it when there is some question as to the integrity of the mechanicals, (I purchased as a basket case with, supposedly, rebuilt motor, maybe but does not have the clean look of a rebuild internally despite good compression).
Cheers
Tad

Hi Barry,
I worked it out thanks to some help from Hopeless Rider, Valve Stem End Cap AWOL on exhaust valve.
Cheers
Tad
