Really enjoy watching you and your dad working on this. Looking forward to the next installment! Rebuilt my T140 last year, quite a learning curve but she runs so swwet now. I need another project!

I believe the 3134 and 4819 have the same cam profile.

I enjoy watching you guys work and have learned a few things from your other Triumph videos. However, I really can't get behind the method of sludge trap inspection shown here. Someone down the road might poke around and break free a chunk of goo that winds up starving a big end journal.

Well you raise an excellent point and we totally agree with everything you said. The only reason we did take that bolt out that holds the sludge trap in is we wanted to look in there. Because everything was looking like it was totally gone through fairly recently. If it didn't look clean or if it had sludge showing in the hole we would've been tearing the motor down, but we saw what looked like a shiny new clean sludge trap so at that point we stuck a wire down and out to make sure of what we were seeing. We should've said on that video at that time that you shouldn't do what we just did if there looks to be sludge build up in there and don't be poking around in there with wire or anything if your not planning on tearing it down. Thank you for your comment.

I didn't know you could check the sludge trap with the cylinders off. I just had the top end apart on my 78 T140. If I had known I would have taken a peak inside there. Can you clean the sludge trap or put a new one in there without splitting the cases, or would you have split them if the sludge trap was nasty?

Yes you can kinda check the sludge trap most times they are really grungy but to our surprise it was shiny metal and we pushed a wire both ways and came back clean so it’s obvious to us that the guy that rebuilt this motor cleaned the trap. Sorry but the only way to clean the trap is split the motor. Don’t use red loctite only blue 243, those crank bolts are hard as glass so don’t over torque it.

Hey did my lil eye, spy a hole in the rear push rod tube, or was that just an accumulation of oil and grime deceiving my eyes?

I believe that hole you might have think you seen on the intake pushrod tube was like black paint from over spray or something, when we inspected them for dings and rust we found a spot of black paint and cleaned them up?
