Shafted

Another engine component rebuild, the crank was in a terrible
state as can be seen from the pics. I managed to get this shipped
to the U.K rebuilt and sent back to me cheaper than I could buy
the parts and have it done here in Ireland.

So the crank was cleaned and fitted with new main bearings x 4,
Labyrinth Seal, big and small end bearings and new con rods
and then balanced.

Bling

So its been a while and the project has been limping along.
I have been concentrating on 2 big spends: Crank re-build
and sorting out the engine casings, heads and barrels.
The images below show the parts Vapour Blasted by
http://www.vapourblast.ie/. All parts were stripped to the
original metal finish.
