Water pump wheal

As you can see from photos I spent ages getting as much rust off the water pump wheel as I can ready for panting.

Water pump wheal

Different fitting

As you can see the mounts are different, will have to mod the new one to same as the old fitting. How I don't no.

Ops radiator

Old and new radiator surround. Small problem with the new one. The bottom mount on the new one hasn't got the right fitting. Show in later photo.

Striped back.

Radiator out, fan out.

Radiator

Taken out the radiator to give it a good clean and have to say it looks good, didn't gave it a good run out both ways.

Rocker ready to fit

Rocker lock

The rod that holds the tappers has one hole bigger than the others. This is for a lock screw to go in to stop the rod from rotating as the other holes in the rod move oil round the tappers to lubricate them.

Rocked assembly.

I put them back on in the same order they came off in, I taped dots into each.

Cleaned up, rock on…

Ok so iv cleaned the rocker up as much as I can, not spotless but the heavy grime is off, look good.

Carburettor

Ok so thort I'd look it over whale it was out, looks good if not a bit dirty. Needle looks in top shape all is good.

Oil between 3&4.

Hear a a closer look at the oil between 3&4, can also see that there is a lot of shut in there to.

The head block.

Had a quick look at the head to day and gasket look like there where some gap between 3 & 4. Oil on the bottom of the head.

Top of the block

Oil and rusty water, cylinders look good no marks or stuff, lots of soot on the piston tops. Post more about the head tomorrow and the carburettor. Hoping to strip and clean a bit.
