1972 Scamp in New Zealand

Been a while since and update,

headers turned up, pretty happy with them considering how cheap they were to buy and ship to NZ,




started and finished de-burring the valley (what a crap job to do)



next up was to clean it all down to get rid of and filings from the de-burr and to get rid of any solvents/etc from the machine shop, picked up a bottle brush for getting into all the little holes etc and grabbed a tube of engine assembly lube,



Found a perfect use for the shower in the garage

then started to assemble the bottom end,

fitted new Clevite crank bearings




fitted the new rear main seal and crank,

put new Sealed power big end bearings in the old ones had seen better days,



then fitted new Mahle piston rings and dropped the pistons back in,




All in all a productive night

after training on Wednesday I should get the cam in and timed up. Then I can slap the rest of it together,


also I still have under seal to scrape, but I’m being a slacker and have left it for a while
