Engine disassembly

Well, we finally got the engine pulled apart. Due to the amount of oil caked up around the crankcase it made it difficult to find the last 3 bolts but we got there in the end.
Thankfully most of the internals are in good condition. The crank, conrods, pistons and cylinders are ok. There is some wear on the camshaft so I am not too sure if that can be machined or I will need a new one. All the bearings have some wear so those are going to be replaced, as well as the rings. The heads need some work so I will need to get new valve guides put in and new seats also. I might as well get as much done as possible while the engine is out then I won't have to worry about it for a while.

Engine before

We spent a good day just cleaning all the muck off the crankcase. I couldn't believe how stubborn oil could be. Shiny!

Assessment

Well, today we started stripping out the interior and giving the old boy/girl* a clean up. As you can see from the pictures, most of the fit-out is beyond repair and will need to be re-made.

At least the sink is still in good condition!

The same cannot be said for the fridge, which is kaput. (Yes that's tartan on the fridge door! MacCleod!)

The pop top was actually in pretty good condition, apart from a few holes.

"How the hell does this work?"

Rust. Luckily this one does not have that much.

 

The cockpit.
