8. Removal of the Dual Seat and Rear
Mudguard
Disconnect the leads to the rear lamp by
pulling out the plugs in the connectors near the
tool box.
Loosen the two nuts on either side of the seat
attaching the mudguard carrier to the frame and
lift the seat, mudguard and carrier off together.
9. Removal of the Petrol Tank
Remove the petrol tank by detaching the
petrol pipe and removing the rubber mounted
stud which secures the front of the tank to the
frame. With early models release the bottom
section of the rear clip by unscrewing the two 1/4
in. attachment nuts. Tap out the two studs and
raise the rear of the tank to release the clip. The
tank may then be removed.
With later models the rear tank attachment is
in the form of a laterally situated bracket with a
rubber block fixed to it, this bears against the
underside of the frame top tube, drawing the
tank down on to the rubber covering of the top
tube.
To remove, unscrew the two bolts securing
the bracket and lift the tank clear.
10. Removal of the Cylinder Head
First remove the petrol tank and petrol pipe.
(Subsection 9.)
The dual seat may also be removed if
desired. (Subsection 8.)
Disconnect the head steady link (early
models).
Remove head steady brackets (later models).
Disconnect the oil pipes and plug leads.
Remove the exhaust pipes and carburettor(s)
and induction manifold.
Remove the rocker box covers.
Turn the engine until both valves are closed.
Remove the five cylinder head nuts from
each head and lift off.
In replacing the heads, see that the dowels are
in position in the cylinder barrels and that the
push rods are the right way up (shallow cups
upwards).
Apply a thin coat of jointing compound to
both sides of the gasket and place it in position.
Lower the cylinder heads over the push rods,
making sure that the rockers locate in the push
rod cups.
Fit the head nuts and washers and partially
tighten down.
When both heads have reached this stage, fit
the induction pipe and tighten the nuts. The
cylinder head nuts can now be finally tightened
down progressively and diagonally from one
side to the other to prevent distortion. After the
engine has been run long enough to get
thoroughly hot, the tightness of the nuts should
be rechecked.
11.
Removal of the Valves
Having removed the cylinder head, remove
the rockerbox covers, each held by four nuts,
and swing the rocker clear of the valve. Using a
suitable
valve
spring
compressing
tool,
compress the valve springs and remove the split
collets from the end of the valve stem. Slacken
back the compressing tool and release the
