Pix as promised, more than happy to give Darren a hand yesterday but when I got there I felt he was being a bit over optimistic:-
Thankfully all he wanted to do was make a start on rebuilding the engine, Darren had already taken the pistons out so set about about crankshaft removal
Gently does it
After a thourough degrease and clean, new bearings in
Crank back in
This dodgy bloke turned up to help, he brought loads of horses with him but that's another story
The man in charge
Checking piston rings for tolerance, they were all spot on and sadly at this point I had to leave
I'm sure there will be some more pix to come. The pistons are all back in.
All in all well worth getting up early on a Saturday morning and great to see good buddies
