Did you ever work out what the left over pin was? To be honest, no, and I’m glad if I never find out it blowing the engine…. As I had the engine completely un assembled in old boxes from a dirty garage I hope the shaft not belong to my engine, Normally at this engine there always at least two of all as you have to equal engine half’s from each three cylinder bank… I just want this engine working until I finish the 3.9 engine who Im planning for this car… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Spain is great and I guess we'll prob end up there but like everywhere (I think) it's not perfect. If you ever make the mistake of tangling with the Spanish beaurocracy you'll wish you'd never been born. Can't beat the weather, otherwise relaxed feel and ridiculously low price of booze though. I don't know if the last two are connected.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in a small privet group of 26 members who build cafe racers in Spain and 2 members lives In Almeria, we come from all parts in Spain, once a year we have a meeting somewhere during a weekend, each one of us have to build a special bike for this, during the meeting we drink, eat and vote de best bike of the year, What is tricky is that you shall not spend more then 2500€ as max budget, this makes it funnier obligating looking for cheap used parts and making everything your self! My build for this year will be a Moto Guzzi 1000. https://imgur.com/a/Khp4VSw Edited August 5, 2022 by El Vikingo Tropical 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) How on earth did you get that tank and seat unit for less than €2500? Let alone the bike.....
