Back At It! Again!
Posted on: Monday August 17, 2020
Well all, I have been missing in action for better than a year now after looking at my last journal entry of April 2019! Lots of stuff going on and just could not get going on the project! However, this past weekend I pulled out all the parts for the C engine from the various corners of the garage and laid them all out, Did a re-clean on the block and bores and rinsed off all the storage oil I slathered all over the machined surfaces and put the newly balanced crank into the block. Used...

Hopefully this will make the springs more compliant and above all nice and quiet. May have to look at tube shocks as opposed to...

OK...so I have been slowly working away on stuff - being distracted by all kinds of stuff! Engine - apparently rotating assembly is now all balanced and ready for pick up - we had sent the clutch pressure plate and disc out for rebuild rather than buy a new "offshore" piece of equipment - price was about the same - $245 Canadian to rebuild it. Pressure plate and disc balanced separately from the crank/lightened flywheel. Head is done - new guides, new seats, new valves, .020" planed off - so...
