Im just waiting for some parts to come back from the engineers so i have started on the engine. I have a 21 stud engine ( had it for 8 years ) it is out of a barrage ballon winch ( same goes for the gearbox ) . It was rebuilt by the British army in August 1954 and has done bugger all since. i have taken the heads off and there is no sign of any wear and very little carbon. So sump off next and a wash through. It has been painted in BS 101 pale blue, this is a standard colour for anything that has been through army base repair.For those of you the like numbers here are the engine numbers ( the original number has been over stamped with a new number after rebuild. old number *BB13 * 1276398* and the new numbeer is RZZ44363P. i hope thats of interest to some of you !
