Got around to making new smallend bushes. Remembered to drill the oil hole and grind a groove in the pin like the old one as the new one did not have it but I thought it a good idea.

Shame to open these old boxes. They used lots of preservative in those days. Got the rods, pistons, and crank assembled remembering to keep the side of the pistons marked FRONT to the front and the oil hole in the rod to the side away from the camshaft.

Spotted the adjustable reamer, would you know off hand which size range adjustable reamer is the best for dressing the holes in the chassis for the spring bushes ?

When i got the new speedo for my 80" was wraped the same way with about 15 layers of grease paper , cardboard & other paper .I's a shame to unwrap them. Wayne

Sorry Arthur, I am not that fussy

I have a reamer to do the bronze bushes for the clutch and brake shafts through the chassis but for the spring bushes , once I have the outer out I put a little stone in a flexible shaft driven by my electric drill and give it a smooth over with that.

Hi Keith, An up date on my Landy. Went & picked up trailer this morning then started Landy & runing as usual. Took to workshop anyway& checked everything but could not find what caused it to drop 2 cylinders only no2 cylinder down no compression a little.

Decided to pull the head & do a valve grind. All looks good in side after 20 years runing on unleaded. Found some wear in dist bush & vacume advance works but doese not advance timing so will go through distributor. Tomorrow's job laping in valves & making new side & tappet cover gaskets , the last ones I made are beyond it after 20 plus years

. I'am going to grinde those plugs in the block some more to make sure they clear the manifold, don't want to brake another Wayne

Thats good. All looks OK.
Just got home. Called in to Errols and picked up the other door. He wasnt home but left it under a tree. Came back via Esk.
Good pic of the crown

Yes , I saw sign man & he said he can do it ok. I'll cut out the alum I got some sheet here , what thickness do you want . The front one will need a bracket if you can let me know what you want & the back should fit flat on the rear i think . I'll have to look at some photo's again . I'll shout you the signs . Hope Landy goese better after this work been getting neglected lately with working on the mini. Mite give Landy a good going over once I get the motor in the mini & bring it home , starting to get a few oil leaks , cork gaskets are geting old & seals are wearing . Wayne
