Enjoyed that, pal. There is a guarantee against shoddy workmanship, by the way. The 1966 Sale Of Goods Act. What you pay good money for has to be fit for purpose. I understand your frustration, and your concerns. A bad bike will kill. Keep safe, sir. p.s. Hope that I don't ever get on the phone with Chris Williams. Don't think I've that long left to live... That boy can talk...
It's amazing how the old British motorcycles are so rebuildable imagine a bike 65 years old just imagine when your kids have it you'll probably be 100 nice to see it back on the road I'm sure you're going to enjoy riding it and all the money spent will be worth it when you ride the bike
Great video im going through the same with a 59 golden flash,funny enough it was bought from co Durham up your way they knew the engine was knackered thats ebay for you conning gits its having full rebuild il put it to experience, glad you sorted yours bloody lovely bike 👍
@@peterbarr7891 Thanks for your quick reply! are they touring, race or scrambles cams and how much difference did they make? Also how much did they cost! Sorry for the 1001 questions 😁 cheers, Mel
@@peterbarr7891 Thanks Peter, after I asked the question I realised you had already listed it on your video (what a fool) :0) I’m leaning towards the idea of clubman cams and bigger goldie valves. Like you, I found iron swarf with what looks like bits of shiny case hardening on the magnetic sump plug 😳 so I’m in the process of rebuilding a spare b31 engine and decided I’m going to bore it out with triumph T140 piston and liven it up with hot internals then swap the motors over before I pull it apart, I’ve just got a new hepolite oil pump and have found a 2446 exhaust cam so can’t wait to get on with it! Your videos are very inspiring! All the best, Mel
I don't think I've ever seen such incompetence, you lot need to leave what you don't understand well alone, if you think your small end bush can stick a magnet you really need to stay out of engine internals, Chris's words say it all
I would be jamming the crank up the crank cowboy's southern region and checking for play (both side ways and up and down)! - Then sent it to Pearson Engineering UK and have it done right and done right forever....
I feel your pain but chalk it up to experience. I am still a little puzzled though. At the beginning of the video you showed a drainplug smothered in swarf. On stripping down you suspected small end failing and some picking up if the piston. Neither of those parts are ferrous. Magnetic drainplugs attract ferrous metal so where was the swarf from? Also, those parts failing would not in themselves prevent the engine from starting.
Mick, I suspect that the swarf came from the damaged piston rings and the scored cylinder barrel.....the bike is now back on the road and running fine.....I have learned a few lessons on this project, most importantly to use specialists who have good reputations and pedigree....
Bought the oil pump from 'John Cronshaw Gold Star Spares and Racing Ltd' 11 Chapel Street, Goodshaw, Rossendale, Lancashire BB4 8BS. You will find more information on the internet......hope this helps...
Wing mirrors? Bikes British bikes did not come with wing mirrors! And you Geordies call the likes of me Soft Southerners. I was born and raised in Somerset, the motorcycling epicentre of England. More lads died on motorcycles in Somerset than any other county. Bad roads? Poor maintenance? Nope. We'me just thicker than pigshit. Take care of yourself, acker...

Hi Peter, great video but you forgot to mention the most important thing! who was it who bodged your crank and ripped you off?

Did you get back to the cowboy who bodged the crank for you?
You do what ya gotta do, for example, I know that an exhaust valve from a Dodge 318 V8 can fix a '57 AJS😎👍
Hi Peter, glad you got it sorted in the end 🙂 where did you get your goldie cams from? I can’t seem to find any! All the best, Mel
Same place I got the oil pump...'John Cronshaw Gold Star Spares and Racing Limited'...he's in Lancashire...more info on line....hope this helps...

@@sambocotton5868 they are touring cams ....costing £300 .....the difference in performance is really noticeable......very quick response.....
