TAIPAN TYRO 1.9cc DIESEL RESTORATION

Well we received this crankcase from Mr Henderson with the enquiry as to whether or not we could restore this engine to running like new condition?

 

LOL...................... Well yes but ummm thats a bit of work right there mate.

OH and by the way, there's a broken off cylinder bolt stuck in it too....................

Great, another mission impossible.

OK so we'll start with the removal of the broken bolt and go from there.

Here's the crankcase with the broken off bolt removed and having received our case restoration process, new 4/40 bolts have been fitted into the case to avoid losing them, lol.

Here's the crankshaft bush removed and ready for the new part to be made and fitted.

Here's the new crank shaft bush made and fitted, inlet hole re drilled and the 

now we'll sort the N.V.A. and a new back plate.

Back plate made and test fitted.

Here's the progress so far on this rather involved restoration mission.

Now it's onto the crankshaft and prop driver.

Crankshaft blank, step 1.

Next........

Now that the crankshaft is completed we can reassemble the bottom end with prop driver etc.

Now we can make the cylinder head.

Now it's onto making the cylinder liner and the piston/rod assembly.
