    Just done the one on my 3SH - when you put the new one in make sure that you cover the gear lever shaft with tape so it does not damage the seal when you push it through. Budget for a new clutch cover gasket and oil as well. BTW do not lose the clutch ball bearing!

    I did my mains recently and one of the seals was tight. I had to clean it up a bit with some really fine wet and dry, just to kinda deglaze it. Lite smear of grease on the seal and it went in easy. Don’t forget the right seal is one sided. It should have outer wrote on one side. Also it doesn’t go all the way in. It sits flush with the outer edge (or it does on mine 1988 3bn). It shouldn’t be a bear to fit cause it’s only the outer that’s touching anything, unless you left the spacer in the crank. You just need a longer tube to drift it...

    You really need to check the back of the piston that isn’t exposed to exaust gas at the manifold. The piston skirt is exposed to the ex manifold on the upstroke.

    Easy job. Put it in a vice with a small wood block to take the pressure off of the ‘fingers’ (also used to support the end of file to keep it square) and breezed it. Didn’t even need the wig🤪 Finish off with a flat needle file & wet n dry... Just needed the confidence that people have done it before and it’s doable...

    @SpookDog said in Cylinder/exhaust problems: I’d be interested as well, specially if you have the head to match... Me? If so shoot me a message bud, they all match and they’re even the same pair that come together in Italy nearly 30 years ago
