i hear the word used a little bit .

the other possibility is to get them retreaded as a slick , if you can find someone to do it .
then hand groove / cut the tread pattern you want .
with the correct hot tool it is surprisingly easy .

adit , ps ; i forgot , i do not know the legality of this for road use

dave . about the only way you will increase the ability of the haffy . is with better tyres . and learning its abilities , and when to use the diff locks . i do not mean this sarcasticly . extra travel in the suspension will do bugger all , except create premature wear . you might get the wheel touc...

bluntly . why . that is what the lockers are fore
and if the tyre has no pressure on the ground , it has no traction .

also the risk of damage to the inner knuckle

my first effort of posting a photo on here , a very steep self education curve lately .

maybe you need this sticker

Gary , just bare in mind that installing different seats may void your legality/roadworthiness and insurance , unless the installation is engineered .

i had never looked at the mounting before , no reason to . it is screwed to the top windscreen frame with what appears to be 8 guage self tappers , obviously Aussie content for compliance . i would use nutserts / rivnuts i am fairly sure that if you have external mirrors you do not need internal . b...

i had a a problem here with a prick that knew nothing . he abused me in front of others . not a good thing to do to me . i told him i would come back very soon with a factory manual to show that the steering was within specifications . which he was telling me i had no idea about . and i was an idiot...

my paper work says 21 foot pounds . with lubricated threads and thrust faces .

earlier you discussed ring gap .
my records are 12 to 18 thou . but that is Haffy components

ask if you want more

i have also seen the springs located in the wrong place .
or two springs the same .
i listed the sizes earlier

the valve relies on a square faced hole ,
you may succeed with valve grinding paste .
i wouldnt try it .

kerry

the cutter is a flat faced cutter , a bit like a tap / faucet reseater .
it fits in a tube that is a snug fit in the hole .
after refacing , the mushroom valve is put in a with the correct size hole in the end , and a light tap to give a new seal

kerry

i never have between barrel and crankcase .
never had a problem .

kerry

ok , bevelled rings ?? i know the answer , but it is hidden in my forgettorr .
i am fairly certain that the top goes bevel up to increase the sealing with pressur .

but do your home work

its late and i am buggered ,

wrong rings on piston , ie; rings too tight in ring lads .

piston dropped or damaged before assembly .

faulty casting in piston .

Gary , i was not high on something , i said to remove the motor from the vehicle . not to also strip the motor . i did also state it was the best time ever , i did not state YOU should be able to do it . the only thing removed from the motor before removal from vehicle was the dynastart i also state...

the honest answer , i cant remember ,
sorry .

kerry

Gary i certainly would not remove it . there are two of these "mushroom"valves . the one you have mentioned uses a spring 8.5 mm dia x 45 mm long the other mushroom valve is in the bottom of the oil pump cover plate this one uses a spring 7.5 mm dia x 50 mm long both seats are meant to be ...

no vehicle is perfect .
but judging an old design , comparing to possible perfection .
is wrong .


what current vehicle will still be going after so many years ?????
with or with out rust , i will not talk about computers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
