WILO 1.49 DIESEL RESTORATION.

Here's the engine as it arrived in our shop from my good friend in the Netherlands Peter Valicek.

Well he looks very very sad indeed. Lets get him into the E.R. and see what can be done for him.

Boy this poor guy needs the full works, missing crank and front end, no compression, broken rod, missing n.v.a. and compression screw and some fairly major case aesthetic issues to boot. OH DEAR........

O.K. so a plan's been made and the first job on the list with our small german friend is to strip off the old anodizing from the cylinder head and crankcase and then re polish and reannodise those parts first.

Here we have the crankcase all cleaned in our wash bath to remove all the oil and grime, then we blasted the case and the repolished the surfaces in preparation for anodizing back to the original finish in black.

Here's the case just before anodizing.

Next step is set him up in the anodizing bath and make him all black again.......
