I just took the 75 for some fuel, it has a few small issues I need to tick off but I like the way it feels with the new clutch and engine rebuild. It's smooth but I detected some roughness in the drivetrain, I suspect the front wheel bearings are worn. The engine has almost new everything and it shows with the way it pulls through the gears. The new modified return nozzle is no longer connected to the inlet manifold, and that's taken away any future possibility of water getting past the gasket. I'll go through it again tomorrow and double check things now it's had a run out.
It's been hard after the eye surgery but it's job done. To recap it's had a new LUK Clutch and slave, it's had new cylinder liners and pistons, new oil pump and crank seal, the head has been totally serviced and new camshaft oil seals/cambelt. Every single part that was taken off has been cleaned thoroughly and of course, new oil and filter. It's effectively a new engine again.
