1066 HAWK RESTORATION

Here is another rare English beast from the far and distant past, the 1066 Hawk. This old boy needs a little bit of TLC to bring him back to full health and strength.

Here's how he arrived from Adrian Duncan.

As usual first step, strip him down and give him a jolly good bath.

Here he is all dismantled, ready for inspection.

Well not too bad, rods worn in the little end, due in part I think to a poorly fitting gudgeon pin which has also damaged the cylinder liner although not to badly, thankfully.

First step will be to clean all the parts and make up the tooling to carry out the necessary repairs.

Here we have the main parts still useful all cleaned and ready to go back together.

Here is the front housing assembly all sorted and ready for refitting to the main case.

And here's the main case parts all clean and ready to be reassembled.

Progress so far.........

Next step is to manufacture the tooling and new parts needed to complete the engine.
