In other news, a few parts are on their way to
SRM engineering for some important jobs: honing the cylinder for the correct clearance, gapping the rings and fitting the cam followers (this may simply require a little bit of "persuasion" with a hand-held rotary tool or some boring/honing at most).
Take a look at the weight there, 7.8Kgs and that's for:
- cylinder block
- pistons
- rings and circlips
- wrist pins
- four cam followers with their locking plates and screws
- a considerable amount of packing
The Maney cylinder does feel very light, but I hadn't realised it saves you that much weight. Nice...
Next time I see those parts they'll be ready to fit; and I'll have avoided the absolute joke that is the local "machine shop".
