Rebuilding motorcycle after timing chain skip 62K Km

I have two versions of the engine shop manuals and a subscription for Triumph’s online one. There are no liners. Only a cast monoblock with three big bores; maybe with Nikasil, maybe not.

Sorry didn't see you had the newer model. I'm still living in the past.

Thanks for sharing, I learned something new too. English is not my first language, my intention to show confidence and awareness ended up with a different nuance in writing. But sharing information and images will speak better for us.

I agree there is a way but it will be very difficult for me to do it at home. I don’t have many tools and infrastructure of a shop and buying more is problematic. The bike ate already a lot in terms of consumables and man hours. I am thinking about this.

IF (?) it IS possible to go from underneath that would be the easy way, for certain. As far as a shop, what you see in the photos is a 10 x 12 shed with just a small area of that devoted to the bike. I did have support running to the ceiling- the janky looking jack stands were not all. Without overhead support I would just make sure you setup a fail safe support system with enough room for you to work from below. @warp9.9 advised me on how to go in from underneath (thanks, again, Warp) and Neville Lush said there was no need to replace those liners, which would have been a whole 'nother can of worms

I will use a three segments aluminium ladder as overhead crane. Bu I only need it to lower the frame. For installing the barrel block I plan to use piston ring compression tool - the one with thin band with pliers, not the tall/thick one - and I lower the block, one piston at the time, using the old bolts as guides. Same method as for CB750 or Hayabusa in the links from previous post. There are no liners or separate barrels to dislodge on this engine, which makes everything easier. I am a little concerned about the lower barrel cuts, I hope the piston rights will pass smoothly.

Here you have the barrel block in its splendor R3 barrels
