Oil Pump

The much feared but most important Oil Pump of the RD is a key part to have in perfect condition. The one i have here is as close to perfection as it can get, apart from a new pump. :)

Reed Valves :)

The simple yet complex Reed Valves are very , very important to the RD. I have around 9 reed valve assemblies lying with me at present, so that'll help me find some good sets. I'll posts pics of all of them together later.

Here, one set i have cleaned and its reed stoppers polished. The reed stoppers of the others set will not be polished, but will be coated with yellow zinc.

Cylinder heads

The heads were full of grime and were sitting idle for a long time. Just washed it with diesel and gave it a quick shine. They look okay, but will need one-two coats of high heat black.
