finally got round to fitting up one of those el cheepo  rear master cylinders

the metalwork on the mod looks substantial enough to do the job

the lever lines up well , just to find a rubber boot between lever and pushrod , and some protection for the fluid feed

I have them installed on two of my bricks now.  Only complaint is that gold color that just doesn't match anything.

easy to spray a different colour before install I recon ...just choose something ruged in paint type  ?

I thought the mate up to the pivot was pretty good ...likely find a bit of rubber to install between pushrod and pin to cushion the action a bit ...like the original ?

hows the long term operation like ?

water pump redo ,
we all know what the water pump housing is like ...black... with a couple of spigots for sensors out the bottom

so with my ever increasing OCD ...lol .. decided to strip the paint off it

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181117

and a little more cleaning

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181118

so dug out the front cover to assemble the parts together , ready to attach to a sump , hopefully arriving soon

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181119


83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181120


some of you may know I looked at a house with a shed recently , with little hope of getting a lease , there were many other applicants already in the system .

after our group meet at the northern tablelands ride event  ((thanks smithy mate , much appreciated

I travelled to glen Innes again to search for other other options , that might be suitable ….surprisingly  a call came from the real estate agent , confirming my successful application ….yippeeeeee  !

a holding deposit was placed  and signing the lease and getting the keys  will be November the 30th  

so now ...at long last..... I will have a shed

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181121

and a front verandah for sitting with friends and family

Three cheers, mate! That is incredible. Nice to know one can still live the dream. Now you'll need a lawnmower or a goat for that lawn! 

The shiny bits look good, too.

BTW, as I too am moving and have to pack up copious amounts of things I need coupled with things I don't, I managed to locate this little beaudy in a box on the bottom shelf. It's got the clutch switch and both cables attached to it. Perform your shiny magiK on it. If you're still in need, give me an address and it'll go out tomorrow. Don't worry 'bout it, I've got two extras...

a posted sump replacement went missing for a few days , till I found the delivery notice hiding in a dark place just this afternoon

many thanks to Ben Kingham of BSK speedworks for helping this project get back on tracks .  cheers mate , appreciate the help
surprisingly the engine serial numbers indicate it was made in the same week of the same year of production , just a few units difference , and will wear my serial number in the not to distant future .

the sump could do with a little cleanup externally , well, allover actually , but a little resurfacing with a stone on the oil pump running surfaces nearly completely eliminated any score marks  along the face of the oil pump impeller areas, yippeeee !!

true indeed martin
but I have used the old adjuster bolt - pivot point incorporated  rather than put the shaft directly thought the arm as it will give a degree of direct pressure straight into the master cylinder ...its a radius thing ???

cheers mate

In order to get the boot to fully cover everything as per the first picture I moved the lock nut to the rear. I had to grind a bit of the brake pedal away to allow the nut to seat flat. And to allow adjustment I slotted the bolt. Whenever I mount boots I fill them and the entry to the master cylinder with silicone grease it stops any possibility of water and dirt ingress. I think I've bought the wet weather with me from down south. The brick was sitting patiently in the garage, looking forward to getting back in the saddle. And while I was gallivanting around Tas I managed to score two mint K75s front indicators. Good luck with your new abode when's the house warming? 83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 112350

house warming ….hmmm  not sure yet , even about getting all the boxes up there within a week   

we have plans for craigs son Daniel to drive the Cruze back up  after a pickup  on the first of December . hopefully with a smallish truck full of bits

but its looking like renting anything out of glenn innes is almost twice as expensive as Brisbane

updates as they happen mate , but any time after 2nd  of December I expect ….lol

all welcome

In my ideal world the shed housing my motorbikes would be just a coupla (covered) steps away from the house, and a fridge would be between them.

took some time off house building - moving stuff

brought some parts back from brissy on Tuesday to keep my fingers busy

with limited tools , started striping the paint off a new to me sump
ready for the project

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181212

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181213


more to do on this when the right tools make the journey up from the coast,  perhaps in a few weeks , but just a glimpse of what im hoping to achieve

also fitted the new output shaft damper drum rubbers  just arrived ,,,and the difference is very noticeable both in tensioning and positioning of the drum around the core of the shaft , no movement at all now .
im sure this will make a huge difference to vibrations emanating from the aged motor, to go back into service .

berts fantastic calendar made an appearance as a complete surprise care of Smithy , thanks mate , what wall decor that will be

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181214



head swap maybe later this week .

and finally Merry Christmas to you all ,, from down here in the highlands

so Christmas day and all is quiet at 9.00 am  next appointment about 12.30 pm  and ocd kicks in

hmm lets see inside this motor , remember the exhaust clearances were somewhere about 5 thou  .127 mm  to start with

dismantling

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181215

good gasket seal

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181216

some interesting carbon deposits , wonder if this is the clue to clearances too tight

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181217


head appears pretty stock but will investigate seats and valves at another time



83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181219


boxing day cleanup of gasket area and pistons ,didn't take long at all

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181218



ready for the head I cleaned up back in july , 86 model with the different seats below

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20180752

should be all buttoned up a little later today sometime

Well Merry Christmas and all but what is this Boxing Day you speak of?  Here in Canada it is only Christmas Day  Very Happy  One thing I have noticed on my own and other's K's is the asymetric carbonisation of the heads (that might be some Christmas cheer induced terminology).  Is there any good engineering/scientific explanation of this?  The engine is looking fabulous nonetheless Charlie and I appreciate all the pictures to use as a benchmark for my own work.

Cheers, Woodie

Cheers, Woodie
Boxing day is supposed to be the day when all the rich bastards who could afford a lavish Christmas Party boxed up all the left overs and distributed them to the Poor deserving mugs who had no Christmas at all.
But nowdays everybody who wants a lavish Christmas Party just fires up the old credit card and has one then they are the poor the next day so eat all the left overs and the box manufacturers go broke. Cynical yes I know but if there is one thing I have learned in my close to 70 years on this earth is that I have not been anywhere cynical enough.

RickG is a good 18 hours ahead of those of us on the US west coast, and likely 15 ahead of you, Woodie. The rest of the east coast of OZ is an hour more ahead due to Daylight Saving Time and Summer and all. It's barely 4c and raining outdoors here at the moment. Ah, what I'd give this very instant to feel those warm breezes and radiant sun on my back, with 50spf on for sure!

Below freezing here at the moment but tomorrow might see some rideable temperatures.  The current forecast is calling for the same conditions in the new year so I'm really hopeful to get out in January.  Oz it ain't but I'll take it!

crikey Al ...good to see you back home after the nature experiences ...lol

yes its been very nice temperature wise up here on the tablelands  far less humid than down in brissy , just kicking myself that I went and broke my shoulder (ac joint ) and unable to ride for a while yet , mean while Gerty is back at Matts place in brissy , oh well not too many weeks to go before I can throw a leg over again .
although first weekend here I did get to ride smithys rs into Guyra , to visit seanii , sweet bike ,

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 47309410
 pic care of seanii




the motor has got its head on  and thanks to fb (as I don't have any manuals handy ) was able to torque up the head bolts to correct spec and install the camshafts  and some shims to measure the clearances ,

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181223


83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181224


 so far I have a couple of outlets with 2.40 shims measuring about 11 thou (.279 mm)  which is right in the ball park for a good fit ,







the inlets with the same shims are also measuring about 11 thou ,, 

I pulled 4 x 2.40    2 x 2.60  1 x 2.55   1 x 2.65  from the old motor  so with a little swaping etc  could end up with only needing a couple of additions shim sizes for a final fix but will need a help as I don't have a tool for pulling the shims at hand , for the moment ..

the cam chain tensioner ordered to fit a k75  has the same tooth configuration that I noticed on twbs rs , many moons ago , rather than the snail cam tensioner , which suffers from wear and will relax a few mm from full tension all the time

k75 version
83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181225









and a new bow plastic tensioner rail will be fitted , as the old one is showing typical wear marks .. the others are fine as usual .

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 6 20181221

but I need some help

without a manual to hand, i cant remember the orientation of the cam sprockets when at tdc on no. one    is it both indicators directly up ? seems to hit a chord in my memory , just need confirming ..




and lastly for today  did a little polishing of the sump face that sits near the exhaust ...the finned areas will have to wait till I can get access to a bead - soda blaster to clean out the paint - corrosion deep in the fins ...blast !!

Just caught up on the thread Charlie. Excellent, considered work as usual.
Sorry to hear about the shoulder.
Also, congratulations on the new digs. But I'm a bit concerned that all those photos of shinny bits will be replaced with pictures of you mowing all that grass......

Cheers, Dee

I can't help you with the arrows up or down but it's easy to figure out another way.  The #1 inlet and exhaust lobes point towards each other at TDC, the arrow direction at the sprockets then becomes obvious.

I pulled my other posting as it was so far off topic it really didn't belong.

Maybe under another posting 'An Aussie Christmas"

but to be honest iv always done a red frame in " ground up builds"

Ducati , Yamaha and a couple of others …

the possibilities of a splash of colour ...is a long way from typical bmw colour schemes ….yes ???

When you get that bike on the road, you'd be nuts to actually use it!

If I had it, it'd go straight to the pool room!

Oh...I'd think about painting the frame green. Have you seen the prices being asked for green-frame Ducatis?!?  Shocked
