Cylinder head bolt troubles (noob)

Hi again. Yeh the cost was £315 but that included a new L/H switch gear jobby for £45, so around £270, Im not complaining. I would love to have done it myself but untill My wife and I own our own house, we just havn't got the facilities to do it.

Ray @ Rosso Corse has quoted £500-£600 for the job, inc labour and new belts and studs re-shim etc. The labour is 8hrs @ £35 per/hr. I ride it in and I ride it back out. That seems fair, but I aint got the £280 labour.

Compare that to the £115 per/hr the garage want for the car!!!

You should give Neil at Cornerspeed a ring (Nelly on this site). While he is up near Nottingham he will give you a very straight answer to all your question. Lots and lots of people in this club use him. Top man he is.

Well Rosso Corse have been spectacular. I called in there unexpectedly Tuesday evening as I guessed that they'd not have started my engine strip down. They've had it a week and done phuck-all. I might take it back if they dont get it sorted soon.

The last thing I need is to have to collect it from there in a poxy wheel barrow cause they stripped it and then ponced about and its still in bits!!

They cite holidays as the reason

Hooray! Rosso Corse have got it stripped at last.

Lets hope they get it back together quicker than it came apart!

Boy, did I not see that one coming. Rosso Corse reckons the parts never arrived!

Looking like the parts supply are as unreliable as the bikes!

Sorry, didn't see your reply way back. Just checked and the studs are marked 037749270 Prigioniero 620-750-900M-SS/03 so I guess they are later/better version. Offer still stands if you need them.

Fanx, but my man reckons he has all the parts. I couldn't have used them anyway. If I'm getting the g to do the job and a stud fails, he say it musta been the 1 I supp'd!

If I had'da done the job mi'self, I could'da used it...

Surprise, surprise. My man has failed to complete the Duke again today. All the parts hadnt arrived till today.

It has always been Ray that was gonna do my bike. Suddenly, its the other guy that was meant to work on it today, and he's been taken ill!
