Day 6 - exercising the HLAs

Well, I decided to tinker a little more tonight. I took off the external oil lines to the rocker boxes, sprayed them out with WD40 and then blew them out with the compressor.

Then I decided to exercise the HLAs a little more, but this time following the tack I found on other websites. I took them out of their oil bath one at a time and put them in a WD-40 bath and exercised the check ball and then the plunger. I saw even more crud come out in little streams. Then I burped them again in the motor oil. This was much more satisfying.

And another hour spent on the bike... How many hours does that make?
Oh well, still waiting on gaskets anyway.
