3 bearing pressure fed Engine

[awentsbury]

I have a 3 bearing pressure fed engine to sell , it came with my nippy many years ago .
The engine is stripped down , I had the crankshaft crack tested and it was fine .
aluminium sports sump with the 9 E cast into it , tulip valves but 3 vales are missing in the Block , Dante aluminium sports head , sports canshaft.
Crankcase is un drilled where the oil jets normally go .
All the bits seem to be there apart from 3 valves.
White metal looks good in the con rods and crank looks fine .
con rods are for floating pins .
Strange that they used white metal in these engines, i thought 3 bearings would have had shells.
I have kept the nippy carb , manafold and head as I am using them on my nippy.
I am looking for offers over £3000.00 for this very rare engine that must be a late nippy or speedy engine.

Good to see this.


Ian, is there a mark on the crankcase? Some of these rare items seem to have been marked with 1A, others with 9E.. 

It might be good for archive purposes to have a detailed shot of the crank case foot area, to see if there are differences in the drivetrain height, if we ever find another one to compare!
