Chris Green Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 I have decided to update as I haven't in a long time. I have copied this from my build thread on another forum, so the timescales are out a bit.Got the news 3 weeks ago that my engine would be back at the weekend, so I got the old engine pulled out ready for the rebuilt engine to go back in...So got to the Friday and my Dad phoned the engine builder and they said it would be ready for another week, by this time I was starting to crack up so we went to see the progress that had been made. The engine hadn't been touched in the 2 months it had been there. So my Dad and I decided we would build it ourselves.Cams out, let the cleaning commence.After a good couple of hours cleaning the head we decided the definitely need skimmed so that is going off this weekend for a skim and chemical clean.This weekFinished painting the block and beginning to reassemble.A few goodies arried during the week **Updates**Engine back from machine shop.1. Stage 2 head port and polish2. Complete head rebuild, valve stem oil seals, re shimmed etc3. Head skimmed to give maximum compression4. Bores re honed5. Crank lightened and balanced6. All bearings replaced7. Flywheel lightened and balancedStill now finished - encountered a few problems along the way, still progress is finally being made.Chris.
