Shark

Busy with the brakes of the XS 500.

Looks like a shark from a cartoon.

Some pictures of my Guzzi

Autumn

Autumn really started.

I have to take my Guzzi somewhere else, or I will be surprised when removing the canvas next spring.

Made a start with a Yamaha XS 500 (like to take things slow, so I use a small brush ......)

Cylinder heads

Next step: cylinder heads.

Moto Morini 350's have a Heron head, which means the combustion chamber is located in the top of the pistons, which gives a flat cylinder head.

Next step

Next step is to put the cylinders in place.

Easy

Well, that was easy. Now I can put the whole thing together.

New pistonrings.

Finally got the new pistonrings. I have to make them about 0,1mm smaller before they fit.

Hope they don't break.......

Careful!

Always be careful with the pistonrings, because they tend to break easy!

Now I have to wait for the replacement rings to arrive. Original set of rings cost 69 euro per cilinder (have 2 cilinders). After market rings cost 20 per cilinder. That is an easy choice, but I have to make them fit.
