Hi all I wonder if anyone can help me with this issue. So d14 rebored new piston and rings all new bearings and seals. Starts and runs lovely. But creates a smoke screen. Have traced this to definitely drawing in oil from gearbox. Cases were sealed with three bond. And seals in correctly. I'm at a loss. Any help appreciated.

Hi all. So today I've discovered that my frame and engine numbers do not match. They are about a month different. So my question is this. Could it have been built like that?? Or has it been swapped later. I'm gutted. Any help most welcome   

Hi all continuing on with my rocket three. Tappets now sorted. Engine runs really well. But one he'll of knock on tick over. Dissappears as Engine speed increases. Noise is coming from primary drive. The triplex chain was well past it so replaced. Noise still present. So far I've stripped it as far as the sprocket and apart from the clutch seal being the wrong way round. Nothing definite located.open to any ideas please thanks in advance

Good day everyone. I've just become the owner of a 1970 rocket three. It was purchased as a non runner and had been idle for a good time. It only had compression on number 2 cylinder luckily for me I traced the issue to incorrect tappet clearance.for some reason they had been well overtightened so the valve were never closing. Once this was set correctly she fired up and sounds sweet. But my issue is this. The half nut to lock the tappet in place is flush to the head of the tappet. This could be correct but doesn't seem right to me. Did they use longer tappet adjusters? Any information would be great. Thanks in advance and a happy new year to all
