Ratman - mine isn't much different - both engines were missing the valve covers
Got some off ebay though - indian copies but fine for what I want.
Had a good day today - 3 -4 hours to myself, inspired by a telephone conversation with a fellow cs owner on the other end / side of the country yesterday & needing my trailer emptied lol...
Got the siezed engines cylinder bore off with a few knocks with a small sledge hammer, and a crow bar. Rings a mess, and bottom end was siezed. Managed to get all the sludge & water out of the sump. A few hours with some penetrating oil & parifin some rocking back & forth with a big bit of timber as a lever and things started to loosen
Now spins over nice, even the cam followers ar lifting and falling by themselves. Bit of a tight spot on the big end so now that I can get to the castle nuts I'll pull that and have a look. The bore polished up nice too, just to clean up the piiiston and see what the rings are like.
Covers are off the gib keys and the oil in place there, I'll oil them every night for the next week or two and see if they will shift to let me strip the main bearings.
I got the head off the 'good' engine too, nice and clean, no broken rings, but evididence of the valves striking the top of the piston, didn't check what the tappets were like before I started. I'll get the oil drained off and check out the sump etc later in the week.
Need a replacement som flywheel / pulley as one has a crack in it
. Need a replacement injector assy as well, that wa missing, presumably how all the water got into the siezed engine in the first place
At least I can get them lifted off the trailer now.
I'll probably end up with both engines running again eventually.
