Workbench made and installed. You can't see the case of beer by the chair for when things have gone well. Unpacking the parts was a pleasant supprise. I have more than I thought - two barrels, four pistons of different sizes, two rocker boxes etc. Some of the engine I have already done/ had work done on in the past and this has survived the last seventeen years well. The rebored barrel is perfect under the quater of an inch of grease I slapped on and the bottom end of the engine has only minor surface corrosion on the outside of the cases. Cool.
Now I need Gunk - I don't want to use flammable solvents near the central heating boiler. What's the french for Gunk?
