Hi all, I've got a rumble coming from my gearbox which i thought was a thrust bearing noise. I have been told it's probably the input shaft bearing. Today i have drained the oil and low and behold there are a few needle bearings in the oil. How long in all your opinions have i got before it becomes terminal? I'm supposed to be going to pickering show this week (i live in county durham) will i get there and back? Thanks Darren

I'm going to check the gaps as you've said nick....don't want any more harm done. I've no idea what caused it but looks like the ring has failed and cracked. I'm lucky as when i heard it go i stopped the engine and coasted home, was only 200 yrds away. Another question, do i "wellseal" the head gasket or just put on dry?.....proper copper one Darren

Well I tried like hell to get the sump out without removing the engine but as I'm not David blane I gave up, bit the bullet and now I have an engine laid on my garage floor!!!! Where's the best/ cheapest place to buy a rebuild kit, whilst it's out I may as well do a proper job on it.

Thanks for the advice, just sounded a bit scary when i was reading the manual ( take to a triumph specialist etc) Nick, it's a standard set up, no pinking or anything, just pulled up at a junction and heard a god awful tapping sound. there's been no damage to the bore at all, the piston has a big hole down the edge of it though. I'll post a pic later. Cheers Darren

Hi all, i took the gt out today after fitting new rack mounts. All good with the steering but the engine started to make a hell of a racket. Took the head off after checking the plugs and seeing one was badly damaged and one of the pistons has blown. Can i remove the pistons out without taking the engine out the car? and what is required to take the piston off the con rod? Many thanks in advance Darren
