Typical, you set aside a day to put your engine back together and it starts tipping it down. I was planning to get the 318iS running again.

A thread stripped as well, where the top bolt for the vertical chain guide screws in. Just waiting for some liquid steel epoxy stuff to go off. If it stops raining I'll try tapping out the thread again. Seems like the newer design guide doesn't allow the bolt to screw in as far, making it easier for the thread to strip.

Any way some pics of sime noce clean metal things ready to reassemble
