A little more today.
Block 90% stripped, oil and water out.
Head off, rocker shafts removed, rockers and cam out too.

Head now booked in for Monday for a pressure test and a 1/2mm skim :twisted:
I'll take out the valves on Monday for those eagled eye fookers!

Pistons look to be OK, and the bores look good too, can still see the honing marks on them.
Looks to have been running rick though.


Block will be wired down and painted.
Any ideas on a colour for the Rocker???

Bit more of an update.
Going "Supercharged" on this engine, so the 1/2mm skim was put on hild for a clean face instead.
Going for a Rotrex C30 range.
Gave the head in on Monday for a pressure test and skim.
Pressure test was good, and a skim of 4 thou wasa only needed.
Picked it up this morning, removed the valves, and the guides and gave it a quick clean.

So, today was a slow day for the stripdown.
Removed the lower timing cover (Covered in years of oil baked on )
Removed the sump, again covered in years of oil, and got cleaning.


Inspected the chain, all looks good there.
Looked into the chain guides, and there's heavy scoring of both, so new ones will be ordered soon.
Removed the Oil pump and then started on the bottom end.

Forgot to take pics towards the end of the day, but looking at the shells, the all need to be replaced, and tomorrow, it'll be removing the bearings to inspect those too 8O
All fun. :D

Did a bit more today,
Looked into the bottom end shells and big end bearings
Not good, slighty worn and will need to be replaced, so ordered they were.
Cleaned up the face with wet'n'dry and taped up.

Removed the shells and crank and pistons


And left it at that.

Tomorrow, it's clean up time, and painting the block.
