Scrap

One Man's Junk is Another Man's Treasure.

Last weekend I managed to come by a box of parts that I hope can be used for the engine rebuild.

The camshaft and lifters are not in mint condition bout should be usable. At least in a much better condition than the ones I've got.

Fault 02 & 01

If I thought yesterdays find was a major fault, then todays find was humongous.

Both valves are crap. The one I managed to get loose, in the picture. The stem is completely worn out, the same of cause, goes for the valve guides.

The missing piece from the cam follower appeared today. Probably broken off when the valve seized or when someone tried to turn the crankshaft and the valve was stuck.

If anyone have an extra cam follower ( Parts no 6170/F ) feel free to contact me.


The one positive thing that I found out today was that the piston seems OK. No scratches and all three piston rings are loose.

The marks below the rings are caused by oil.

Fault 01

Started degreasing the engine, today. Opened the camshaft / rockerbox to make sure there was no water inside the engine.

Found a major fault: one of the rockers was broken. Unfortunately the broken off piece was missing, otherwice I would have tried to weld it back...

If anybody out there has a spare rocker, feel free to contact me.
