    It's making life a bit easier by being able to post pics directly on t here as well Si! Is that a good thing? Or will it take up lots of expensive e-space? Most other forums are hosting pics themselves nowadays it seems...

    Was tightening up the (new) rotor with the (new) rotor bolt and started to feel a little odd. Hadn't got to the 95ft-lb that the manual suggests, and realised that the starter ring gear wasn't spinning like it should. Hmm, backed off the bolt, unscrewed it to see the damaged thread...
    It still threads in nice and easily though (as far as this pic shows), which suggests that the job isn't totally fucked.

    Looks like it bottomed out in the hole and picked up if I was to guess

    Anyways, it seems that the stripped bolt was not down to my ham-fistedness, not this time.
    The aftermarket alternator rotor apparently needs to have thClick image for larger version.

ID:	8848e bolt shortened by about 4mm, and also needs a different thrust washer at the rear (one from an earlier 1100, with a smaller OD than the one for the 1100 Unitrak). The thrust washer, upon inspection, had been forced into a cone shape because it wasn't sitting in the recess at the rear of the ring gear, as the pic here shows...

    The bolt met the cutting disc, and the thrust washer met the belt sander, and everyone lived happily ever after...

    But before they're fitted I'm going to make a closer check as to how well the rotor sits on the crank taper, and I may fit a brand new thrust washer (the correct size, natch) rather than the one that'd been pushed into a cone shape...

    How did I miss this?
    Anyway, with the small amount of visits these days, photo storage is not going to be a problem currently mate, so keep up the good work!

    Cheers Si ;-)
    And it turns out that I had the wrong inner thrust washer all along anyway, as the correct one is slightly thicker and has an oil groove in it too. Correct item ordered this morning... So some waiting for the delivery. If only I had another project that I could be working on in the meantime.

    New thrust washer purchased, and waited for, received, fitted and all back together again.
    And then, once the starter and alternator gubbins was all back together, I happened to find a glass jar, containing some bits...

    ... yep, the very bits that I had fucked about trying to find, then ordering (wrongly), re-ordering (correctly), waiting for and then fitting...

    This was followed by more fucking about trying to get the sprocket cover and clutch actuator fitted correctly, with some issues as the cover wasn't fitting flush to the crank cases... eventually traced down to the actuator not aligning with a slot in the cover. With this done, all was fitted, and the exhaust also bolted back on and lock-wired nice and neatly.
    At which point I turned to the oiling system and realised that the exhaust would have to come back off again so I could fit the oil return fitting into the turbo... Time and motion, time and motion...

    Bloody glass jars. At least everything is going in a forward motion mate; slightly bent and twisted maybe, but forward all the same.

    Oil return fitting bolted into place and, while I was there I thought I might as well fit the oil feed line as well. Er, hang on, where is the oil feed line?... it should be here somewhere?... er....
    Here we go again....
