I think your covering looks pretty good Kevin. I seem to remember that compound curves need a lot of pulling as you wield the covering iron.

Received the replacement parts for the Saito today and after reassembling the engine its good to know there are no parts left over. `as usual the Japanengish instructions clear as mud are !

However, unlike Saito, because i'm reassembling the engine with OIL, the weight of the cam lobes tended to rotate the gear when lowering into the crankcase, so made this retainer with an old plus net card which i could slide out after meshing the gear. and thought "That'll do"

After reassembly, used the crank protractor to verify the valve opening and closing was sensible (saito dont publish data) then used this RCxel ignition timing kit the verify the ignition timing.The LED extinguishes on the sensor trailing edge at 31deg BTDC.

Test run the engine today and for the first time in its life this inlet valve mechanism is getting lubrication so i hope it proves good in operation.

Q - why do i have to modify what is reputed to be one of the best Japanese engines to provide the basic requirement - lubrication.

Hi Kevin - Perhaps an email to Mr Saito together with supporting pictures
may result in some interesting feedback ?

Regards

Colin.
