Re: An Engine Rebuild Thread for Beginners

Both head were off and enough work had been done for one day.
Stuffed all pushrod holes with rags
Then found a little surprise in one side of the water jacket
Just visible in the top right of the picture above is an o ring that must have been floating around for an unspecified number of years. It looks to be one from one of the temperature sensors.....I won’t be reusing it.
Used a very simple device to stop the cylinder liners moving when the engine is being moved
Made from an off cut of timber, approximately 30 cm long. This piece was 20mm deep so cut two pieces of standard 15mm copper plumbing pipe - one 35mm, one 65mm.
Drill two holes in the timber of 12mm diameter, centres 22cm apart. The wood then slips over the top left and bottom right stud. Fit the pieces of pipe and screw two of the stud nuts back on to hold everything in place (Patent Pending).
