emmcamm Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Forum member may be interested in my latest project: creating a running Meteor to exhibit. This motor was purchased a number of years ago from Tim Vibert in Australia, and was ex an Australian Army Centurian. The motor was preserved for around 40 years, with a thick coating of cosmoline externally, and in all cylinders, as well as inside the inlet manifold etc. The motor fired up for the first time last week, and runs loud and strong!
