Went to Gord Bush Performance , Etobicoke . Picked up my 850 RH 10 head with 2 new Timeserts , sparkplugs .
Picked up barrels bored and honed for J.S. oversize pistons . $ 406 . 80 Cdn . Went to David's closeby on the lake to drink beer and look at his 2 british old sport cars , a GB and a Triumph . Home for an Indian dinner .

It's an MG , lowered , he let me drive it , I loved it . The yellow Triumph I did not enjoy so much , worn out leaf spring rear suspension . Norton reassembling tomorrow , but it's cold and wet so that's going slowly and sporadically .

The irony of ordering a Portuguese FAG bearing from Andover...

Gorgeous weather here in Michigan. Went for a nice 50 mile spin and found this when I came back. Separation of my peashooter from the pipe...Is this normally what happens with age with these pipes guys? I have no idea how old it is. Wondering if I can have it welded, or maybe some JB Weld at the seam to keep it together and prevent leaking.

Find a very good Tig welder. Most epoxies like JB weld break down around 300 degrees F. A skillful Oxy-fuel welder may be able to braze it.

Maybe have it properly welded and flip it over to the other side.Proper alignment during the install makes a big difference.
