Crankshaft

Well the second crank did exactly the same as the first crank. Seized when the main bearings were tightened. I took it to a local engineering firm who have polished the journals and now all the conrods spin on the crank as they should.

It meant removing the pistons but that has worked out well as they needed decoking and the engineers did that as well. So this morning is going to be the engine rebuild day - so long as i can find a piston ring compressor.

Photos later today of the build and hopefully of a complete engine
