You know when you have one of those days....

Stripped the top end off Tigger's engine today with a view to changing the camshaft.

All going very well... an alarming amount of slack in the timing chain and wear on the timing gears.  Again, no big issue, have got spares of them.

But........   the camshaft bearings are worn :-(   Was hoping that they would be OK for another cam but I'm not happy with them...

So, I'm now of course wondering about the condition of the mains and big ends...      this could end up as a complete rebuild....   and I need to be finished by Thursday !!

All good fun eh !

You know me too well Neal :-)

I was thinking earlier about doing the bottom end bearings, maybe stripping and cleaning the heads, doing the crank oilseals, you know then I could put a new crank in... maybe up the capacity a bit...  <grin>
