1933 Matchless D5 main bearing
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:09 pm
Hi!
First I introduce myself : I'm the moderatly happy owner of a 1933 Matchless D5 (500 cc side valves). Moderatly because it should have been running well when I bought it and it needs a rather complete overhaul... Anyway it's a beautiful bike!

I hope you will see the pictures...
I need to take care of the cylinder and the piston (as there isn't any compression) and as I have removed the engine from the frame I have had a look on the crankshaft (you know what I mean, step by step, you have a basket full of bits ). The crankshaft itself is quite good but the main bearing is less smooth than I think it should. Do you know where I could find one?

Thanks
