Featured 1953 T100 Rebuild.

I have had this T100 for a while now and it's a dog, as Su's 5T is done i would like to ride it this year and do the restoration over time, thoroughly checking it over at the moment and doing any work req so as i can ride it for now. Engine wise its looks like its rideable so have converted timing bush to a seal as in unit construction bikes and fitted a Morgo oil pump, greased bearings and plated a few parts, cleaned out fuel tank and carb, fitted new rear tyre and front later this week and fitted some new bars so far.

 

First ride out on the T100 today and most of the oil leaks are cured, will have to do the rocker shaft oil seals and the pushrod tube seals as they have weeped a little then all good to ride for the rest of the year

Thought i had most of the leaks sorted but after a few rides it's obvious the pushrod tubes are leaking, strip top end and clean it all up ready to set the squish on the new seals.

 

All done inc a decoke of the head and fitted the new front tyre.

 

Lol, 1/16" squish of the seals is all it takes to stop the oil seals leaking, no Hylomar req.
