Polishing my rod
and measuring my big end
Trying out my new tools in prep of the build, all big ends measure 55.02mm +0.01 for two of them but was just a rough check. (tiny bit under the eagle website specs 2.1670 to my 2.1661inch)
no scratches on the rods just some black stains from the old bearings that wont come off (at least I know they have not spun previously)
Not taken the new bearings out the plastic to measure them yet as there is no point until I get crank pins checked for sizes.
Started her up for the first time in a few months with no issues bar having to charge the battery beforehand.
New job and wedding will make this a slow progress build (along with collecting the parts )
Still need to find a good machine shop in Scotland, only response I have had is from shops down south (well, one in hull), which want me to bring a block in rather than give me a quote for the work I require.
