Mr Revhead[RL] Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 we're getting the crank crack tested and tested for straightness etc, that will tell us more about the engine and its condition :insane: Quote
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Posted February 17, 2005 more to confirm if it has worn oval etc.... i get on well with the local engine rebuilders so its costing $30nz well worth it i reckon. we shall soon find out anyway! Quote
Miss Flirty 30 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 and i hope the results are all good :insane: if not... i do have the crank out of the other engine that is lying around in the garage, so if i get up the energy to take that engine apart, i will take that crank in for testing too :D Quote
Miss Flirty 30 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 **update** YAY the crank came back sweet as, its not oval or whatever :insane: :D so next on the agenda for my engine is to get new bearings, rings, water pump, and then gotta get the cam reground... there is other bits and pieces that i need aswel, like air filters for the carbs, oil & filter... the list goes on and on....

Redwarf Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 ..... and the list never actually seems to get shorter! Quote
