Engine rebuild...
I have sprayed the crankcase with XHT silver paint and it looks sweet!
I am keeping the cylinders black just WD-40'ing them to drive out any moisture!
Replaced all rings anyway after much ado; tried to replace cylinders using an old band ring compressor an over the top one, no luck!
I bought a clamp type; low friction and worked a beauty :)
Big hole in exhaust muffler! Time for a new one!
Heat exchangers cleaned and looking spick!
New braided fuel hose bought and chrome and glass fuel filters :)
The heads are on, Valve clearances adjusted to a tee!
New plugs, NGK B5HS beauty's!
New leads attached
Crank pulley and pedestal attached, New push rod tubes in!
OH BUGGER!
i have forgotten the baffler tin that hooks onto the cylinders above the pushrods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAHHHH!
Oh well i will have to do that later after two days of working!
GRRR! What a set back!
