    A bit more progress on the engine. Timing case has been refitted after coming back from the shot blasters, new bearings and seals fitted where necessary. New timing chain and tensioner fitted. Block was cleaned, washed and blown out, honed and refitted. Also new camshaft bearings were fitted along with new seals. Also pistons have been refitted with new rings, all have been gapped. Also push rod buckets have been cleaned and refitted on the cam shaft. More photos to follow shortly...

    Hi, Thanks for the comments. As for information about the bearing scraping process, i will see what i can do, we may be able to do the bearings for you? Regards Henry

    Alot of cleaning has been done, and the engine is starting to go back together now. I have had a friend of mine round, to show me how to let the bearing caps together and then scrape out any high spots in the bearings. It brings the bearing in tighter within tolerance improving oil pressure and takes out the slack that was there. This has saved me having the crankshaft out to be ground with new bearings!!

    The engine is 1939. Its a spare engine i brought, as the one in the lorry had dropped a valve. So i am making a good one out of the two! As for cam shaft seals, i have just been down to a local bearing company who can match all the bearings and seals up! But thanks anyway!

Sorry for the muddle up of the order of the photos, but i will try are keep up together with them as and when i do more work on it in the future.

    Hi, Thanks for all your comments. Seems to be quite a topic surrounding this shade of blue paint. Just as a final confirmation, could someone give me the definite colour name and paint code for the "1944" engine please, so there's no confusion when ordering? Regards, Henry

    Hi, Thanks for all your replys, looks like, ill be using good quality machinery paint then, any good suppliers or good brands to go for? Yes Richard, you are right, its the same person/ same engine as mentioned by the machinist, a little way off of painting it but would like to get ready for when I am! Regards, Henry

    Hi, I was wondering what experiences or recommendations people have had with Duck Egg blue heat resistant paint for use on engines like the AEC 7.7ltr? I only found Craftmaster paints to supply this paint, but would really like some recommendations first before going ahead and buying some! Regards, Henry
