Hi Everyone,
Today I managed to modify a rear main bearing cover to take a high speed lip seal then fitted it and installed it on the 9E crankcase.
I had a fun game of hunting an oil thrower ! I found a new old stock one in a bag with a load of engine lock washers which I had hidden from myself.
Next year I will get on and finish the final assembly.
This is a 9E engine which I have been assembling parts for for a number of years.
The only original parts left are the oil pump top bearing and rear camshaft bearing everything else inside is brand new.
Once its all running it will outlast me.
The current installed mongrel engine has been in use for over 25 years
Happy New Year.
