Engine rebuild Royal Enfield 1941 350cc s/v

[sealives]

Hi

I have just acquired a 1941 350cc s/v engine for my WD/C restoration project. Took the head and cylinder off, and its obvious the big end has too much up/down play. Can anyone suggest an engine rebuild company (ideally in Dorset)?

Thanks in advance.

Buy the repro WD manual or the 2 period  service manuals as it’s not too hard to do yourself. Is the engine complete?

Hi Chris

Thank you for your reply. As it happens and with guidance from Ron I have done exactly as you suggest. The engine is now completely in bits, new parts ordered then off for a rebore and new big end.

 

It was largely complete but missing an oil feed pipe, the valve lifting mechanism and drive sprocket. I have managed to find/buy all the bits.
