Higgins kpt. Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 chassis is in good condition, "only" must clean rusty, but think engine be big problem, rusty in side and is immobile kpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins kpt. Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 MWC engine in detail, not good, but hope dies the last, kpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippo Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hello kpt, What has happened to that piston? I guess the plugs had been removed, Is it just rotten or has it melted? There are still plenty of bedford engines around so you should pick up another easily enough, or John Mortor is still doing reconditioned ones, save you a bit of time.

Smiler Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It looks like something has conjealed in there on top of the piston. It also looks like someone has cleverly managed to hammer a ring of nails into the wall of the bore about half way up, what are those?
