Got myself down the parts suppliers this morning and got some required parts to get this 1B i had from Crisarc restored, its sat on the bench for far too long and needs to be finished. Ill do it to the same standard as Ralfs engine so itll take a wee while just yet.
Anyway, pictures!
New exhaust manifold studs.
New valve guides.
New standard mains and big ends.
A new bottom end set, core plugs, water pump cam belt and a head set; Which as ever i ended up having to take back as someone had been break dancing on it in the packet and warped the fire rings to hell....i always end up doing two bloody trips for parts!
So monday if i can battle thru the snow ill be off down the engine shop and cost up a set of KS or Mahle pistons for a bore and hone.
Once thats out the way i can start on putting it all back together, powder coating all the alloy parts and dropping it completed in all its 5 cylinder glory on the living room carpet completed as a talking point for visitors.....or maybe not the last bit.
