I stripped the engine to pieces and it was the big end bearing gone on the no.3 cylinder....It was completely gone,and the crank damaged badly.I gave the engine to the engineers and they supplied a new crankshaft and a new conrod for it,and the full gasket set as well. The owner said he want the engine to be rebuild like it is in the show cars.No problem.He told me what colours he would like to see on it and i started to do the job. I cleaned and degreased the parts and resprayed them.    He wanted a black gearbox:   The new crank:  The pistons needed a good clean cause the grooves had a lot of dirt in them behind the rings:  This is from there from 1 piston:  All done,ready to fit.  Lets do it!  Continue soon...
