Dear Javier,
While having the engine out and partly dismantled, you should take opportunity to replace both cylinder heads gaskets. They are prone to become fragile with age and mowt on engine that remained unused for a long time.
Keep on doing the good job.
Regards,
Pascal

Hello, we are finally getting the material from the various suppliers that will supply us with the necessary equipment for the renewal of the engine, clutch and gearbox.




We will continue with the work as it is said here although I do not know if the translation will be the correct one "slowly and with good letter"

Javier:


As to the words and translations thereof, don' worry, we will get it.


"Do not sweat the small stuff". And, more, "it is all small stuff".

We continue the repairs. Today I had time to devote myself to checking the gearbox. It is in very good condition. What was in worse condition were the oil seals on both the primary shaft and the trailing plate. The paper seals of the side covers have also been changed as for that of the selector assembly and the o-rings of the fork shafts. The bearings, gears, synchronizers are in perfect condition.
