Been doing some maintenance.
Set cam chain the other day
been chasing leaks in the external oil filter plumbing, think I finally won.
set valves today, the adjusters weren't pretty, (not sure of provenance had slotted end not the 3mm square, gaps as you might guess were pretty wide, swapped in some good used adjusters from another engine. Changed oil after about 800 miles cuz last change looked sparkly. Valvoline VR1 20-50 both times. Looks good this time, I cut the filter and looked in, seems clean, I'll get you some pics of that. Pics of Gary's o-rings after about 7000 miles no leaks even though one nut was barely hand tight.
The JB welded stainless mesh looking good but had a small tear started on the back side so swapped in a fresh (repaired) filter.
Left cylinder has been testing low for last few thousand miles cold R-185 L 170 Borescope shows some scuffing on the walls, did a poorman's leak down, had air coming through intake. Will keep running it. Doing a few more things preparing for a possible long ride coming up.
