Going to build a race 1m

Just a little bit of fiddling. So I thought I would put the rods together. I got 20mm wrist pins riffle drilled. Supplied by PRE

and ACL race bearings

The rods are lovely and and well made.

again as every thing... clean clean clean. Then tiny bit of engine oils like the bearings in to position. Making sure the oil way lines uo for the riffle drilling so the small end is lubricated

the end caps are matched to each rod and orientation so done mix them up

Just to finish off I used ARP2000 bolts to hold caps on

All done... might get round to fitting pistons today and then checking the oil clearance on the crank ... but might have to go shopping ......

Some thing I was looking for was an uprated style dog bone mount.... and looky what I found on ebay.

034 motorsport mount. Very small Bush one end and then rose jointed the other. Saves wasting power to twist the engine. It the goes to the wheels.. not sure how much these normally are. I can't see ant marks or dents ... and it's shiney...

Picked up this AGU engine cheap yesterday..

yes it is a wheel barrow.. I am to old to be carrying engines about now.. only need the head from it. The one I had was a bit monkey and not nice looking. So gonna get on with stripping this..
Does any one need any bits

Was messing about the other day, just lined up the new front seal housing. So see how the new shines bits looked. But touched the seal. But the rubber didn't move back. It just stayed with the dent in it

So knocked the seal out the housing.. ordered couple new ones. But of a better quality and higher quality. Using the size details

Ordered the new ones .

Slightly thicker. Seal rings on it also a tension spring that will help to stop any oil weeping out.

Will take it to work tomorrow and use the press to just slide it in..
Any.one ever had problems with these leaking befor. I was thinking of making these uprated versions and selling them if needed

Started putting the rings on to the pistons

Had to buy a cheap crank pully bolt. Then grind the flange off

next to the new arp bolt.

This is so when I put the pulley on to the crank I can have access to the holes

So when it's bolted to the crank I can drill in to the crank. And then push 2 tool steel pin threw the pulley in to the crank. . Basicly to help stop the pulley from shearing the keyway and spinning on the crank .... then that would be the end of every thing hahahah.
Every little helps
