pictures

Sorry about the pictures, could not figure out how to make them smaller

Pic's are good John, and that engine looks schmick!

I'm still kicking myself for not getting the cases and valve cover done on mine when I had the cylinders and head done...

Glad Mick Hone could help, they have great prices and even better service!

big end bearings

Hi All
Took the Conrod’s out to have a look at the big ends today .As you can see there seems to be lines on the bearing surface but they feel smooth ??? But I think I will replace them any way just to be on the safe side .

Rusty muffler

Mate they are two rusty old dunstall mufflers with the silencers removed. I’ve seen them on eBay somewhere in QLD but cannot remember how much they were asking

Haha ok, looks a bit like my stock exhaust did before it literally fell off...
