wrecker Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Following the discovery of a crack in my block after the christmas bad weather i have extracated a engine that had been in a garden for 10 years,heres some pics before i delve deeper,im hoping to get away with a clean up,we will see. The big picture is engine that is cracked,shame as it runs lovely. http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/data/500/medium/ALIM2974.JPG http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/data/500/medium/ALIM2978.JPG Edited May 20, 2012 by wrecker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I can only work a few hours per weekend on motor so here is results of heads off,bores full of water,bores pitted,lifters are all free and it looks like lifter bores are ok,i took sump off and was surprised to see crank and rods in good nick,next week i will take crank out and try to get rods and pistons out then add up the cost of rebuilding it.

wrecker Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have now got pistons free from bores,one had to be hit from below with softwood,then hardwood,then copper and finally resorting to a 1/2" socket extension to get it to move.All in all not as bad as it could have been,got to take block to the engineers to see if it will take a rebore.

wrecker Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/showfull.php?photo=137537 Heres engine all clean ready to go for a rebore if the pitting will allow it. Need crank regrind and new cam and lifters,not going to be a cheap job but ive got new timing chain,carb,oil pump from other engine and plenty of gaskets in stock.
