Borrowed a friends valve spring compressor. (That made life easy).

"BORROWED" one of the kids 'magnetic darts',( they don't play with them, honest), to help catch the collets,(just the tool for the job).

all valves out, with no dramas :shock:

is there an easy way to clean the valves up?

camchain and engine still being held in place by the (patent pending :wink:

) 'multi-purpose' bungee system :lol:

Previous builder managed to turn an 'o' ring into an almost perfect 'triangle'.

Bores look in good condition. Reasonable amount of carbon build up on top of pistons?

Barrels are off and they look wonderful

The cylinders look, I think in perfect condition?
There are no score or scratch marks in the bores.

I've got to think that a previous owner has had this engine re-bored :?:

any thoughts on this?

Pistons look in excellent (newish) condition :?:

pistons say "107" on one side and "ART" on the other side.
other than some carbon build up on top, they are like new :up

Isn't there anything written on the pistons saying they are oversize?

Richard

PS You are ripping into that quickly enough aren't you ?

I have asked this question before, but never got a definitive answer.
is the sump bung supposed to be magnetic?
This one definitely is not.

don't know what the idea is of the soft rubber centre :??

The oil filter bolt has seen better days. I had to hammer on a 9/16 socket to get a bite.

The oil filter was seriously twisted. Can't of been working too well.

Removed the sump and holy f**k. What a load of thick shit.

Hiding amongst the thick black shit was copious amounts of black silicon, several small springs, end of a bolt/ stud and some sort of (open on one end) dowel. Oh, and I almost forgot, several small flat pieces of something that looks like 'bakerlite' plastic.
Any ideas where some of these have come from????

freddyz1r · #43 PostAuthor: **freddyz1r** » Sat Mar 07, 2015 12:41 am

The pick up strainer has got plenty of silicon attached of course.

Everything in the oil pump looks fine,(because all the shit is still in the sump :shock:

)

This is where I'm upto with the engine.

gonna have a go at emptying the cases next :shock:

(Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew :oops:

).
