TAIPAN MK2 1.5cc DIESEL RESTORATION

Here is the engine as received from Callum.

 

First step, dismantle and assess the damage, tool up to manufacture whatever parts are required to return this classic Ozzy iron back to his former glory, plus a bit hopefully.

So we have a little bit of work to do on this one, rebore, rod, N.V.A. prop washer and nut and a strip and re-anodize job on the cylinder head.

We'll start with cleaning up the crankcase and crankshaft, then finish the front end.

Here's the crankcase all cleaned and ready to receive the rest of the parts.
