Parts are back from Pryce engines.
After thorough cleaning of all parts I weighed the pistons with pins in, 1/2 a gram from highest to lowest, conrods zero difference
according to the paper work the combined balance was within 1.7 grams
Used crank gear and brass gear were in good condition. I put them in my toaster oven for 20min at 200 deg C
They fell onto the crank and locked on solid (definitely better than trying to bash them on).
crank is now together, big end clearance all between 0.050mm and 0.060mm
all lubed up with ep assembly grease and oil.
waiting on cam bearings before fitting into case.
