Thanks, I'll see what Rich says, but if I need one may give you a shout. If it goes that far I may indulge and look at some performance work.......
Vertical cylinder and piston gone, "de-something-or-othered". He has a used cylinder, not sure on piston, brain stopped working at the thoughts of the £££'s being flushed away............. Recons someone's been in there before, fecking about......(wasn't me) Valve guides also gone on both V and H exhauts. "Hey kids, Santa hates you, it's your own fault, Christmas is cancelled".
That's more likely but still... there's something missing here but if CR is saying it all got a bit technical then perhaps he was in a state of distress at the possible repair costs which blocked his hearing? What's the bill estimate CR?
Don't have one yet. He's pretty busy and I'm in no rush so it's off the bench at the moment. He's going to give me some options such as 'S' cams etc and costs involved.
Please don't mention oil, Fin starts painting his face white and blue and starts doing a multi millionaire Australian actor impressions
ah,could be worse. At least it's top end and not a man bearing. Or something I did wrong. I kinda knew would be something like this.
Hate to say it (well I don't actually) but it would be wise to renew both main bearings and get the crank shimmed correctly whilst the work is happening, if that's the route you're taking (repairing the motor).
