Motor part II
Fitted new shells to the rods and fitted them to the crank. Warmed up the drive-side inner roller bearing and slipped it onto the crank. Propped up the left-hand case and dropped the crank assembly into place. It hung up with 1/4" to go, so I ran a blowlamp over the case, allowing it and the outer main bearing race to ease just a fraction until the crank slid down the last little bit. Added some anaerobic instant gasket and bolted down the right-hand case.

Motor
Now that all the components have been cleaned and/or machined it's finally time to start slotting it all together. I'm delighted to say that I'm going to be assisted by Matthew (aged 7) performing his first engine rebuild.
