big mistake replacing Semi syn oil with full syn and then back to semi syn......................no wonder you have a fooked clutch after that

Harsh mate, some light motor maintainance has turnt into me currently having the crank out. A blessing in disguise I reckon as upon inspection there's a fair bit of swarf in the motor probably from a previous sezuire that needs cleaning out. What part of Bristol you from? I'm in Henbury, shout me if you need any help or parts .
