I have some 'old stock' PJ1 that I plan to use on the block & head.
I think Buzzard would kill me if I told him I needed the head stripping.
I also have my own reservations about powder coating heads & barrels.
It's a bit late for this project, but I've just discovered Simon (Flying Tiger) now does ceramic coating. If he can cater for 'top ends' I'm not sure, but it's gotta be worth asking.

Spent a couple of hours yesterday refitting the suspension linkage.
When I originally test fitted the exhaust, there was a clearance issue with the linkage pivot bolt & exhaust.
Should be resolved now.
I countersunk one end of my freshly powder coated dog bone.
Not wanting to loose all of the original 12mm bore meant that the head wasn't flush.
A couple of minutes in the trusty Myford and I have this;
Which fits like this;

Mick,
That suspension bolt was £2.95
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271457867528? ... EBIDX%3AIT
I also re-used the bearings that came out of the suspension linkage..........
......... Cos there was no budget left for bearings after splashing out £70 to fit new in the swinger.

Started to fit some of the engine cases the other night. Transmission cover fettled with new seals went on without issue.
Before fitting the clutch cover, I removed the clutch centre to fit a needle roller mushroom.
Clutch plates came out looking decidedly shitty.
Then I discovered someone had tried to cut off the centre nut.
I then unwrapped the clutch cover & discovered it had some sort of pitting, probably caused by corrosion.
At that point, the wife walked in & pronounced, with it being such a lovely evening, it would be nice to visit the pub. I didn't need asking twice & decided to leave before I unveiled any more nasties.
