    Starter motor problem

    Check your earth strap on the gearbox. Normally on the nose cone. Check for continuity between the chassis and the gearbox case. Then if that's ok, check for 12v at the large red wire at the starter. If that's ok. Try crossing from the main positive to the small wire next to it. Oh make sure it...

    Talk to me about engine configurations please!

    I'd go 1776. 90.5 barrels have a greater thickness walls allowing better heat dispersal. I dragged an Eriba familia round with my split. It had a 1776 in it. One word for it. Bulletproof!

    1969 Devon (bought it, not built it!)

    Just try googling Richard Trent and vw airspeed........ Plus I've just dropped the flywheel off the crank and found there was 4 dowels snapped below the crank face end. They are an interference fit and Scat dowels too. Therefore fairly hard and impossible to drill out. A good engineer friend...

    Well been looking at it again...... The main bearing dowels are smaller than they should be. Stock ones are 4.9mm, these are falling out of the holes! Plus they don't look like " off the shelf" dowels! Here are the sizes.... Its not much and I know that the bearings are held in place...

    1969 Devon (bought it, not built it!)

    It's completely in bits now! I was thinking of going bigger, but there isn't enough clearance in the case for a larger crank. :( And I can't be chewed with getting it sorted. I am gonna stick with 1955cc.

    1969 Devon (bought it, not built it!)

    Yep it is, I am just on getting some galley plugs sorted. I am curious to see if there is any other swarf in there. The oil pressure was rather low when I last ran it, so just gonna start again. :shock:

    Well it's stripped! Found the following: There seems to be excessive amounts of oil round the lower breather, plus the barrels were leaking. Dunno what's going on there! All the pushrods are marked. Bugger! Cam follower looking rather sick! Swarf in the oil galleries..... Hmmmmm...
