That is quite optimistic. But let's say I hope to be flying before the
end of this year.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a coolant temperature indicator as
well. The sensor is positioned between the top tank and the radiator.
It indicated high temperatures so at least coolant must have been found
its way from the cylinder heads to the sensor.

I could not find any traces of sticky substances. Also, the new shaft
was as difficult to get in. Actually, I planned for having it
considerably deeper into the fork than the original, but I gave up when
it was about 5mm further than the original, because I could hammer what
I want, but it didn't want to go any further when the fork was cooling down.
Cheers,
