Rocker removal
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 9:37 am
Hi all.
I'm new to this ajs/matchless game having bought a pair of them last weekend. Both from an old barn!
The ajs is a 57 m20 (the matchless is a G3l 55).
I'm starting the m20 first.
Wasn't in bad nick, needs a rebore. The exhaust valve was bent. Probably due to the last muppets not putting in a head gasket, they said there was no compression and retired it to a shed.
I want to get the valve springs out and need to remove the rockers. Do they just push out using a drift?!i have an owners manual that says ‘remove rocker' which is rather unhelpful.
Is there any trick or special way. As a mechanical rock ape I don't want to resort to beating it just yet!
Any tips?
Many thanks
