So true I am on the hunt for either b31/3/5 as long as it’s in my meagre budget,that engine has always been so beautiful ,I don’t hold much hope out as these lockdowns have meant a lot of lucky people with three money and nearly a year off have made the prices of projects ridiculous ,i and my wife have had to work right through so never mind lady luck my shine on me ha ha
Had to adjust the stock clamp-down length for the Vape. Horizontally clamped the “magic box” under the battery. Using tiny “littlefuse” relays to control the beautiful Lucas prince of darkness switch. A similar but different job than redoing my ‘60 gb33. The goal has been to ride super early morning Sundays while the texters in Socal are sleeping. A headlight similar to Darth Vader’s sword, and a battery that doesn’t die.
I like your imperial adjustable spanner, I've got the metric version of that spanner. I'me liking the build, and I like your setup, a lot bigger than the garage I've got to work in.
Can you fit a timing disc to the crank spigot at the bottom of the timing case (the hex nut), Iam timing up a DBD34 for a mate and it seems a better place to put it rather than the primary side, I'll make an adaptor for the disk so I can attach it, great video Bud 👍
Hi Rob. I'd be greatful if you could tell me where you sourced the touring cams from ? Did you stick to standard b33 valve springs ? Great job btw. Regards Steve.
I bought the goldstar cams from autocycle engineering, along with the mudguards. Because I stayed with the original valves and head, I used some new, original valve springs.
13:00 Is this the recommended way to fit the pushrod tube? I had a B31 and could never seal the tube from oil leaks after removing the head and leaving the tube still attached to the timing chest.
I think the bsa b31/3 motor is quite possibly the most aesthetically pleasing in the world. Better than a goldie, that push rod tower is a work of art
I 100% agree! I must say that I like the A10 timing chest too.

I am really enjoying watching your work.Have spent the winter/spring installing the Czech/vape magdyno in my ‘56 bb33.
How has that worked out for you? I have fit 3 vape systems om my scooters and they are really good!

Great video thanks, I am building my first b31 motor and my first motor build in general so was great to watch
Thanks Dave and good look with the b31. Great bikes 😎

I was lucky to find one in imperial. They are quite hard to find these days. 😉

Regs Steve.
No probs. 😎

I think so. I just followed the workshop manual. It still doesn't leak. 😎
@@kickbackgarage Aha! I never had a manual, trying to get the rubber gland pushed up evenly into the head was pretty well impossible!
I didn't say it wasn't a pain 🤣
