Sneak peek of the new engine build. Cerakoted the castings black. I'm going to do the same with the oil pump too.

Do the starter also.
My advice is to do the oil pump and the starter in grainy powder coating, Like on Harley and Triumph.

@Stu Bodycote Whats that means? 🤣 I dont understand a word...
"Stole Brummy Nortons idea for the ball bearing to block up the vent hole on the starter motor, over the old smudge of rtv. Also stainless rose jointed the shifter rod."

Stainless rose joints, instead of those ball sockets

Ball bearing pressed in, instead of a blob of rtv sealant.
I much prefer the silver starter motor, so it'll be staying.

What diameter ball do you need to do this and how much press does it require to get in ? On a Harley Sportster this hole points down so like a vent/drain . I like those rose joints ! Do you mind sharing the specs for us to do this ?
 
Sorry, everything was from my own spares tins, ice cream tubs and boxes, so no links. I can measure the ball bearing though, and the rose joints were just m6 female rose joints. I struck lucky with the length, as they're spot on....but all you need to really do is measure what's currently fitted.
 
The ball bearing knocked in without too much sweating, with a decent drift and hammer. It was a brand new starter motor, that I ordered in from USA for stock.....so I was a little nervous of cocking it up.
 
Dunno, never saw such on any Norton.
But not sure if the gold would contrast well right against the polish alloy cover.
I think it would be nice if the gold logo had a thin black outline around for contrast.
Someone should give it a try.
