Engine is painted and almost ready to be reunited with the motorcycle! I’ve got to get a move on because I received an invitation to the Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance, in September. I don’t attend a lot of shows, but it’s the only event my wife enjoys attending!

Back in the stand. Too wet and rainy for more paint. Sorting parts. All the covers have been polished up and I have a new set of the correct screws.

Light coat of paint on the back end, before it goes back into the rotating nine stand, for full paint.

Used my tractor to get the engine out of the stand (working by myself).

The Benelli didn’t win a prize, but still my favourite.

It’s been a while! A few projects got in the way and I’m still busy endurance racing an ex Grand Am LEXUS IS300 a Team of friends. Last week I received an invitation to the Cobble Beach Concours. A few years ago, I won best in show with my 1970 cb750. Took my Benelli SEI there most recently and this September I want to take the Sandcast. I typically don’t attend shows, but this is a spectacular event. Back on it, with a deadline!

A few wet days led to some shop time. Determined to do more riding than work, this summer. Buttoned up the top end. After this photo, rockers went in, valve clearances set.

Pistons in, light hone, new rings. All well within specs. The oil rings in my RK set were too tight in the grove. The originals were not 1/2 way to the wear limit. Back in.
Guess who managed to fire a piston pin clip into the crankcase, years ago?

Repairing a few bent fins will be the next order of business when the parts return from vapour blasting. The top end will get a light hone, rings and all new gaskets and seals.
