Not a huge amount done to this. After redoing the top end, I wasn't happy with what sounded like a bottom end knock so out came the engine again.
Stripping it down I found it had a relatively recent rebuild but the No1 main was sloppy on the crank :evil:
The quickest solution (or so I thought) was to throw in a fresh 1914 I have for the split until the 1600 is rebuilt. Mmmm, a few months later and lots of little oil adaptors, hose, carb rebuild kits, new jets etc etc ordered and it was finally running.
Next problem, back on the ground, the deep sump was only a few mm off the floor!! I raised the SC up on the adjusters and that gave it about 45 or 50mm.....that'll do!!
After driving it for a few hundred KM's it was time to replace the now totally mullered sump plate after its hit pretty much very lump, bump and pothole in Brisbane. There was nothing else to do except raise it up a spline
Before
Now
