No progress on site today - Time spent with our visitors from Cornwall - Fiona and family - Plus more work on engine parts.
All useable small parts are now stored in a big steel box - the cylinder head has now been stripped - looks a bit grim - lots of pitting - it must have been seriously overheated for a long time to get that bad !
I will get an estimate for testing and refurbishing.
The starter motor and alternator are in my car - ready to go to MAES in Rotherham for servicing.
The workshop bench is now free of engine bits - washed down with acetone - amazing how it clears the oil stains - I wish it could clean my hands - lol.
Just wondering if I should strip out the camshaft from the dead engine before it goes - the one on Blazer has some wear evident, according to the mechanic that checked it, - a biggish job ???
Next engine job is to clean and repaint the spare gearbox - it appears to be in great condition - I already have a spare - One recently sold for £395 on ebay - not overhauled !!!
That would be nice - there are currently none for sale - must get cracking.
Monday - must order hardcore and wacker plate - the weather looks dry for a few days - great !!
Mike.
