Big brother knowing where you are or what you are doing, as if the card has a GPS chip. Mobile phones give away you location. The card acts as a bank card or time you need to confirm who you are it's very useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Its not just that Chris but also an ID card system is another quite large bureaucratic financial burden on society that just isnt necessary as we get by fine in the UK without it. Also I find in Spain just because they have ID cards absolutely everyone makes it a requirement to show it even when its completely over the top. And yes there is a fine for not having it on you...

PeteH Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 All looks "the business". You`ll be pleased I expect Plenty of lube on the cams pre start is recomended. according to the "pundits". Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 That's good progress! As Pete says, plenty of assembly lube on the cam and followers. You're probably already aware, the advice on first starting up with a new cam is to run the engine at 2,000rpm for 20 minutes. No stopping no slowing down unless absolutely necessary e.g. to fix a fluid leak. This beds in the cam and followers. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 As Pete says, plenty of the right kind of lube on the cam and followers is important. But before that, you should check, if it is not too late, that the followers have flat faces. To do this you can put two together, face to face and make sure they do not rock. In fact with a layer of engine oil they should almost stick together. I say this because there are also followers available (not Triumph) that are crowned. These have a very slightly convex face which is not obvious without the above check and do sometimes get supplied in error, even by companies who really should know better. Going back to the lube, there are various special products available, but Newman’s have previously told me to use EP90 provided the engine will be run within a day or two of assembly. Also important that the engine oil has decent levels of ZDDP (1,100 ppm or more). This is important for all fills on flat tappet engines but especially the first start. It is also usually recommended that the engine must be run at 1500 - 2000 rpm for the first 20 minutes to ensure good lubrication during break-in. Good luck!

But then again when going out in the car you are supposed to carry registration & insurance paperwork so not any burden. It sits in my wallet and of course in case of an accident my identity and address are there for the medical services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that goes back to Franco's era. France used to be the same but was dropped quite a good few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Oh, just for the record in the 28 years I've been here I've been controlled twice for routine inspections of car and/or identity. so don't get the idea that just because we have them they are checked.

NonMember Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 20 minutes ago, johny said: the money I doubt it's very much. The brexiteers loved to lie about all the money that the EU cost us (it actually was net beneficial) without giving any context for the numbers (not enough to make a difference in what they claimed it could better be spent on). This looks like another example of bad maths, and I suspect the cost of the identity card system is entirely lost in the noise of government spending.

johny Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I forget what the cost was that was estimated when the subject last came up for debate and it would certainly pale into insignificance compared to Covid spending - saying that do we really want to spend more on bureaucracy and the pen pushers that go with?

I think it is more something to do with the Difference between "English" Presumtion of innocence, and the "Continental" presumption of guilt. Whatever, it is very deep seated in UK society.

I think the French like their ID cards, funny bunch, mind you everyone wants less taxes but they also want more spent on public services. That's not just the French 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 There are times when having an ID card can be useful. When the police were hunting the Yorkshire Ripper the son of my parents next door neighbour was stopped on the Dales and had a bad time trying to get the police to let get on his way. His name?

johny Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Ive noticed, certainly in Spain, a philosophy of trying to cover absolutely every possible irregularity that could occur with numerous laws and systems. Theres no considering how big the problem is and comparing it with how much the measures are going to cost or how much inconvenience theyll cause. The end result can be systems which are not really enforceable so people ignore them and then focus on the important issues risks being lost. The rules governing vehicles is a good example with kit and modified cars and bikes being very hard to get on the road legally compared to the UK yet the accident statistics are considerably worse☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair, the guy was under a false name, on a false passport, and they had absolutely no idea of who they were looking for. I wonder how many hundreds of thousands similar we have in the UK, currently evading deportation, who are content that they'll never be asked for any kind of ID? (On the TV series today, Uk Border Force raided a Chinese Restaurant for an illegal resident who was working there illegally, found him in the kitchen, and the female owner claimed "I don't know him, he just walked in there and started cooking food for himself...")

JohnD Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 For goodness sake! "Day of the Jackal" was set in 1963, fifty seven years ago! and in France (and Italy, and the UK) not Spain. But they still do it, today, largely I think to ensure you pay the bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Good movie, though. Some great cars, but I think the bit where he closed off half of the twin exhausts in order to conceal his rifle in the 'cold' half might not have worked in practice.

wimpus Posted January 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Today been busy.. Let 2 bushes made up from a bronze valve guide. Tapped them in the blind holes in the block.... 1 was stuck. Even with a puller it didnt want to come out ! So drilled it out, more bushes made and a bit shorter. That did it ! Again big thanks to Mike (Sparky spit) for the tip ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpus Posted January 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Then it was time for the head etc. Then wanted to fire her up... no go. Checked timing, but when turning her by hand could hear and feel a rattle... Eventually after checking dizzy gear etc, found the starter was turning... stuck bendix ! Removed oil sender T piece etc to get starter out. Cleaned it up and then it fired uo from the first try ! Checked timing after i let her run for 15 to 20min at around 2000rpm. It was spot on ! Was amazed that it sounded so well. Minor leak at the bottom rad hole, jublee clip was bad. Did drive her for the full 15meters to her parking spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
