Good luck with the piston rings, how are you going to load up this engine to get the rings to bed in well?

The worst damage is caused by casting sand in the inside of cast iron pistons as it falls into the oil hole in the big end causing damage to the crank and bearing.
Clean it within an inch of it`s life before reassembly.

Did you get both flywheels off?
Will you be posting pics of the engine restoration?
Bob
Yes both flywheels and crankshaft end housings are off.
Sure, I will include a few different pictures and angles of a coffee mug filled with casting sand
Re; sand
Although I have lost count of the total there has been in the area of 30 Listeroids. processed through my little operation of every "brand" that I have ever seen mentioned. I have experienced exactly one that was clean of sand and slag, which was a Satyajeet 20/2 it was 10 steps ahead of any other Listeroid in every way. Thus every time I read of clean one as received I am like, uhh OK
